The most widely used method is counseling. The main services provided are counseling and provision of information.

Police and Institutions of the protection of the child rights are the main partners of the social workers in this process. Cooperation with non-governmental organizations is also well appreciated. Social workers have insufficient competence to recognize/identify domestic violence at an early stage. Although there is sufficient amount of visual information on aid options to victims of domestic violence. There is also lack of material resources for successful assistance to victims of domestic violence. Social workers are not sufficiently motivated for their achievements.
