Help for violent people

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

Where can I find help?

The Educational Programme against Domestic Violence teaches people how to resolve conflicts without violence. The programme is for adults. An interpreter is possible. Registration is possible on 061 267 44 90 or via haeusliche-gewalt@jsd.bs.ch. Participation is free of charge.
