My name is Krisztián Kapitány, addiction counsellor, Reformed deacon.Since 2015 I have been working as a mental health worker at the MRE KIMM Home for Drug Treatment of Minors, where I have gained insight into the life paths of several addicts during individual consultations and facilitation of therapy groups. I deeply believe that there is no life situation from which there is no way out, no way to alleviate suffering.

As a case management mentor, I have learned that I cannot take over the major decisions in my clients' lives, nor can I fix the major stumbling blocks in their lives alone. But by working together to create an accepting atmosphere and stimulate reflection, we can move closer to taking more responsibility and accepting reality. Towards a reality that has not always been the default in my own life. My way out of my severe substance use disorder and my lack of purpose was a long journey of self-discovery and a series of different therapies. Today, I face the challenges of the rest of my life in a happy marriage, with a restored sense of self-worth and realistic goals, not forgetting the lessons and trials of my past.

In my free time I enjoy self-improvement, reading and sports. In addition to regular supervision sessions, mountain biking and swimming contribute greatly to maintaining my spiritual balance, without which authentic help is unthinkable for me.
