Reaction to the tragic event at FF UK

Yesterday´s tragedy at the Faculty of Arts has seriously shaken the entire academic community of our Faculty and the entire University and has a heavy impact on all of us. We would therefore like to assure you that we are aware of the extraordinary and challenging nature of the situation and are doing our best to cope with it together.

If necessary, psychological counselling is available for teachers and students at https://www.prf.cuni.cz/poradna.

In the wake of yesterday's events, Mgr. et Mgr. Bc. Šárka Červinková, our psychologist, together with her colleagues, launched a crisis intervention initiative for victims and other affected persons. This is free help, both online and in person in the centre of Prague, in the range of 1-3 hours per person. The aim is to identify and treat the acute condition of the persons concerned in line with the crisis intervention principles.
