COUNSELING FOR EXPERIENCES OF VIOLENCE
COUNSELING FOR EXPERIENCES OF VIOLENCE
We provide counseling regarding physical, psychological, sexualized, economic, and digital violence, as well as support in coping with the consequences of experiencing violence.
Together with those affected, we plan possible next steps if desired, provide guidance and support in applying for protection against violence, and offer relief and empowerment.
Examples of violence include:
Insulting, threatening, humiliating
Hitting, kicking, throwing objects
Forcing sexual acts
Stalking or confinement
Controlling or prohibiting contact with family or friends
Taking away or controlling access to mobile phones or computers
Taking away money, keys, or identification papers
TRAUMA-INFORMED COUNSELING
TRAUMA-INFORMED COUNSELING
Different forms of violence, including sexual violence, accidents, or other distressing experiences, can trigger extreme feelings of helplessness and loss of control. Such experiences may also lead to psychological symptoms that often do not appear until weeks or months later.
Through trauma-informed counseling, we offer relationship- and resource-oriented support in coping with traumatic experiences. We strengthen and stabilize those affected and, if necessary, assist in finding further trauma therapy options.
LEGAL COUNSELING
Rechts-beratung
Once a month, we offer free legal counseling provided by a lawyer (specialized in family law) who works for us on a voluntary basis. She offers our clients an initial consultation on legal questions.

PREVENTION
We offer workshops on empowerment and violence prevention for school classes and youth groups.
Upon request, we offer workshops on violence prevention specifically for young people. Participants are encouraged to become more aware of their own perceptions and body awareness, helping them recognize and identify violent situations. Together, we explore possible ways to respond to personal experiences of violence and develop ideas for supporting those affected. In the workshop, young people are introduced to various support systems, and through cognitive as well as experiential and action-oriented methods, they strengthen access to their own resources.
