Taldykorgan's New Family Support Center Offers Lifeline in Crisis

A new support centre for families has opened in Taldykorgan, offering help to those facing crises. The Zaņa Family Support Center, led by director Jeanar Nurmukhanova, began its work in January 2026. Its goal is to provide a 'safe harbor' for people struggling with difficult life situations, from domestic conflicts to violence within households. The centre provides both legal advice and emotional support to families in need. It also focuses on prevention, teaching people how to spot early signs of aggression and abuse before situations escalate.

In its first month, the centre already received multiple reports of domestic abuse. To respond quickly to threats, it works alongside law enforcement, courts, and local social services. Plans are underway to expand its reach, with online consultations set to bring support to remote rural districts. Beyond immediate help, the centre is developing a monitoring system. This will analyse the deeper causes of family crises in the region, aiming to address issues before they worsen.

The Zaņa Family Support Center now operates as a key resource for families in Taldykorgan. Its services include legal aid, emotional support, and prevention programmes. With partnerships across local authorities, the centre aims to provide faster responses and broader access to those in need.
