We offer intervention and counselling for victims of domestic violence. Violence can manifest itself as physical and/or psychological power, particularly in disputes over visiting rights as power of disposition over joint children. We see ourselves as an organisation for child and youth welfare and work with all victims of violence in the family system. Depending on the case, we provide counselling in individual or group/family settings.
Our counselling is demand-oriented and specifically geared to forms of violent conflict in close relationships. We support family systems, couples or individuals and initiate change processes towards a non-violent conflict culture. Our counselling is structured, methodically broad and geared towards effectiveness.
