Social service centers are state and municipal institutions that provide assistance to citizens who find themselves in difficult life situations. Representatives of low-income and vulnerable groups of the population can contact the specialists of such centers: veterans, disabled people, widows, orphans and many others.
Instructions
Step 1
Check which type of social service center you need. Depending on the type of services provided, they are subdivided into territorial centers for helping families and children, social homes for single and elderly citizens, rehabilitation centers for minors, centers for helping orphans, and centers for psychological assistance. There are also comprehensive centers for social services for the population, which provide services in several areas, for example, they are engaged in the socio-cultural rehabilitation of disabled people and, at the same time, offer the services of social workers for lonely elderly people.
Step 2
Contact your local social welfare office or department or the area where you are looking for a community welfare center. The specialist or secretary is obliged to provide, upon request, the addresses and phone numbers of social organizations, as well as suggest which of the centers is best for you to contact, depending on the type of services that you need to receive.
Step 3
Go to the official website of the department of social protection of the population of your city or district: you can find it through any search engine. The section "contacts" contains all the addresses and contact numbers, and often there is a recommended request form for written requests. If there is no information on the network about the city or area you are interested in, write a letter to the email address of the Ministry of Social Protection of the Population with a request to send you the coordinates of the desired social service center.
Step 4
Call the helpline in your city or area. The list of telephone numbers of social service centers is publicly available, so no official inquiries will be required. Alternatively, contact an alternative telephone information service, which has its own number in each city.
