Day Centre for Adults
The outpatient psychiatric day centre for adults offers a comprehensive psychotherapy programme for patients aged 18 and over. It is suitable for patients who are recovering following hospitalisation in a psychiatric facility, or for those who need support during a period of decompensation of their primary mental health condition. The programme lasts for a maximum of six weeks and patients can join at any time.
The daily programme includes group psychotherapy, group sessions with a psychologist and psychiatrist, training in techniques to help manage mental health difficulties more effectively, and complementary therapies such as art therapy, movement therapy, bibliotherapy and creative activities.
Patients join the day centre on an ongoing basis, which fosters group dynamics. The maximum number of patients in a group is fourteen. This helps to maintain an intimate atmosphere, enabling intensive work in a safe and supportive environment.
The programme runs every weekday from 8.15 am to 2.15 pm for a maximum of six weeks. Those interested can arrange to have lunch provided.
Part-time day centre for the treatment of insomnia
The day centre for patients suffering from insomnia is part of the Sleep Medicine Centre operating at the CDR and focuses on patients who have been struggling with insomnia for a long time. As part of its psychotherapeutic programme, the day centre utilises elements of CBT and familiarises patients with the principles of healthy sleep, whilst teaching them appropriate techniques to support the treatment of insomnia.
Each session also includes a physiotherapy component, during which patients learn relaxation and movement techniques under the supervision of an experienced physiotherapist.
The day centre’s programme consists of five sessions, each lasting three hours and taking place once a week.
Who is the day centre suitable for:
Patients with chronic insomnia who have been referred by a specialist or a physician from the Centre for Sleep Medicine
Before being admitted to the day centre group, patients can undergo an assessment at the CDR’s insomnia outpatient clinic.
Day Centre for Young People
This six-week residential therapeutic programme is designed for adolescents aged between 14 and 18 with mental health conditions for which outpatient group therapy is appropriate. These primarily include anxiety and depressive disorders, sleep disorders, ADHD and mental health issues related to school attendance and adolescence.
The programme takes the form of group psychotherapy and enables participants to meet peers who have similar mental health issues. In addition to group therapy, it also includes individual therapy, occupational therapy, art therapy, relaxation and other supportive activities, such as sport, board games or other creative pursuits.
Patients attend the day centre every working day from 8 am to 3 pm. Those interested can arrange for lunch and a lift from the centre of Beroun to the hospital.
The programme also includes school lessons, so attending the day centre does not lead to excessive absences that would disrupt the continuity of the patients’ schooling.
Who is the day centre suitable for?
Indications for admission to the day centre include:
- neurotic disorders (phobias, reactive disorders, somatoform disorders)
- mild and moderate mood disorders without suicidal thoughts
- sleep disorders

Day centre for children aged 12 to 15
The day centre group is designed for children aged 12 to 15 attending lower secondary school who are experiencing difficulties with school attendance and for whom group-based outpatient therapy is suitable. It involves learning in a calm and welcoming environment and enables children to meet peers with similar mental health difficulties. The main advantage is that regular school lessons form part of the programme. Within this framework, the children receive personalised support to help them gradually return to normal daily life. The group itself is small, consisting of a maximum of eight members, and the intimate atmosphere contributes to more effective treatment.
The group meets every weekday from 8.00 am to 12.00 pm, when lessons take place at Porozumění Primary School on the CDR premises; on Mondays and Thursdays, the morning school session is followed by
a psychotherapy group from 1.00 pm to 2.30 pm.
Patients have the option of ordering lunch and using the shuttle service from the centre of Beroun to the hospital.
Who is the day centre suitable for?
The day centre is primarily intended for:
- adolescents aged 12–15 (up to their 15th birthday)
- pupils in Years 5–9 of primary school
- patients experiencing difficulties with school attendance (anxiety about being in a group, fear
- about marks or being tested)
- pupils on an individualised school programme who need to re-establish a regular
- school attendance routine
The Triple P Positive Parenting Programme
This group, focused on developing parenting skills, is open to all parents. Participation in the programme is not conditional on a psychiatric diagnosis for either the child or the parents, as its principles can be applied in all families.
The Triple P method teaches parents the skills they need to raise confident, healthy children and teenagers and to build stronger family relationships. It does not tell people how they should be as parents. Rather, it introduces them to simple and practical strategies that they can adapt to their own values, beliefs and needs.
The programme comprises four group sessions with other parents, three individual consultations with a trainer and a final group session.
Specific dates and times for the sessions will be confirmed shortly. However, you can already register using the booking form.
The project ‘Expansion of the Triple P – Positive Parenting Programme in the Czech Republic’, reg. no. CZ.03.02.02/00/22_031/0004247 is being implemented under the ‘Employment Plus’ Operational Programme, co-financed by the European Union from the European Social Fund Plus.
