It is consists of three rooms (waiting room and interviewing room for children and observation room for specialists) and it is equipped with a two-way mirror and necessary technique (video camera, microphones, recorder).
In the same building it is also located the Child's City Centre which provides psychological support for children and families and a shelter for children.
