Help for violent people

Anyone who hurts others physically or emotionally must take responsibility and get help. A change of behaviour can be achieved by attending counselling sessions.

Important to know

Are you afraid of losing control and shouting at, hitting or threatening another person? Do you sometimes find it difficult to deal with your anger? Demonstrate courage and get help.

Violence is prohibited in Switzerland and will be punished.
