Domestic violence requires immediate action. Contact appropriate services and find support through therapy. We also offer mediation, which can assist in challenging family situations.

What to do in a domestic violence situation?

Prioritize Your Safety

  • If you are in immediate danger, call the police (112) immediately or contact a local support center.
  • Try to prepare an emergency plan: have a packed bag with documents, money, and essential items in case you need to leave home quickly.
  • Inform a trusted person about your situation and agree on a code or sign to let them know you need help.

Seek Support and Legal Assistance

  • Contact support centers for victims of domestic violence, such as the Blue Line (tel. 800 120 002) or local shelters for women and children.
  • Consult with a lawyer or an organization dedicated to victims’ rights to learn about your legal options, such as a restraining order or the perpetrator’s eviction.
  • If you have children, find out what your rights are regarding their protection and care.

Find Emotional and Psychological Support

  • Talk to a psychologist or therapist who can help you process trauma and plan your next steps.
  • Utilize support groups for individuals experiencing violence – sharing with others who have gone through similar situations can be empowering.
  • Do not blame yourself for the violence you experience – responsibility always lies with the perpetrator.

Consider Mediation Only in Safe Conditions

  • Mediation can be effective in resolving family conflicts, but it is not an appropriate solution in cases of physical or psychological violence.
  • If the perpetrator shows a willingness to change and commit to therapy, family therapy led by a specialist may be considered.
  • Remember that your safety and well-being are a priority – you do not have to remain in a toxic environment.

Plan for the Future

  • Consider steps that will help you regain independence, such as looking for a new apartment, employment, or financial support.
  • Look for courses or training that can help you acquire new qualifications and economic independence.
  • Allow yourself time to rebuild your self-worth and believe that you deserve safety and respect.
