Advice and support

We offer free counselling to intercultural couples and families in different life situations. You can contact us, for example, in matters related to relationship issues and parenting, or in matters related to separation and divorce (we do not offer legal counsel). We provide advice by e-mail and telephone as well as in face-to-face and online meetings (get in touch with us via our contact form). We also have Familia Info service that you can email or phone 044 9257703 on Mondays 6pm to 8pm (starting on 27 June).

Familia's advice and support service is not a therapy. We look together for answers to individual questions, and support you with a short-term and free guidance aimed at identifying present and desired changes.

In addition, our BElingual project offers on-call help and support in matters related to bi- and multilingualism, as well as information concerning early childhood educational institutions that offer multilingual care.  
  • Belingual Telephone Advice: Mondays 1pm to 3pm 045 78352075 (calls, text messages + Whatsapp) 
  • Belingual Face-to-face Advice: Fridays, 11am to 1pm at Familia (Lintulahdenkatu 10, 7th floor, 00500 Helsinki)
