In 2014 “Green House” temporarily ceased its functioning, as the building where the center was located was amortized and was subject of dismantling. Because of this fact provision of  psychological and preventive assistance for children became unavailable.  

As a reply to the request of rehabilitating center director and City Hall,  sub-organization of Ministry of Regional Infrastructure and Development of Georgia and MDF based on   government decree started center reconstruction works. As a result of the implemented project “ Green House” will be available to assist children by the end of the year.

Marina Tarasashvili director of psychological center “Green House” stated: „ We have assisted more than 1000 child and their parents since establishment of the center. We receive more than 30 patients per day, in particular 15 child and 15 parents. Basically our patients are up to 4 years old. These patients regularly are visiting our center. For patients with less severe problems several visits are enough. Though we have patients above 4 years old and we work with them individually. We have both individual and group sessions, depending on problem complexity.  Unfortunately we are unable to work since February because of the problem related to building. Assistance provided by the Fund is significant for thousands of children and their parents; If not reconstruction works we won’t be able to continue this important work for a long time.”
