After the opening of branches, the total area of the center's premises will almost double. Today there are 10 branches in the city, which were repaired last year. Every year, 50 thousand teenagers and young people aged from 14 to 35 years get psychological assistance there. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin and Tatarstan Minister of Youth Affairs Rinat Sadykov visited one of the offices today.

The department is located in the residential building at 8 Marta street. Previously, there was an infant kitchen, and a few years ago the premises were transferred to the Doverie center. Renovation began last winter, and in September the branch welcomed the first visitors. “We were here when the renovation was just beginning, the walls were gloomy. Just in six months, the repair was completed. Last year, ten branches were renovated, including this one, but seven more branches will open in different districts of Kazan,”- Ilsur Metshin said.

According to the director of the Doverie center Elena Ovchinnikova, the branch on 8 Marta Street is the largest, with an area of 457 sq.m. The branch will serve residents of the Sovetsky district, where 97 thousand young people aged 14 to 35 years live. But young people from other districts of Kazan, where there are no branches of Doverie, can also visit this office for psychological assistance.

The head of the center showed Ilsur Metshin the reception area with an administrator's desk and comfortable sofas. “The reception staff registers visitors who come for individual consultations. For reference, 243 meetings were held last month,”- E.Ovchinnikova noted.
