Kein Täter werden Switzerland

“Don’t become a perpetrator” – Switzerland offers a range of treatment protected by confidentiality for people who seek therapeutic help because they are sexually attracted to children and suffer from it.

As part of the therapy, the affected persons receive support in learning to live with their pedophile or hebephilic tendencies, to accept them and to integrate them into their self-image. We want to support people who are sexually attracted to children and suffer from the associated burdens to lead a satisfied life.

The aim is to prevent sexual assault through direct physical contact or indirectly through the consumption or production of abuse images on the Internet (so-called child pornography).

Adult residents of Switzerland who have a sexual interest in children who are looking for help to cope with life without sexually offending against children.
Families and Friends of individuals with a sexual interest in children who are looking for advice.
Therapists looking for more information on working with invididuals with a sexual intereset in children.

Email, telephone, online appointment booking.

The therapists are subject to therapeutic confidentiality with regard to all cases of child sexual abuse in the past that become known to them in the course of their therapeutic work. The violation of this duty of confidentiality is punishable by law.

Therapeutic confidentiality is a basis for the preventive approach of the project. In this way, therapeutic help can also be offered to a person seeking help who is not known to the judiciary and who is sexually excitable to children’s stimuli in order to prevent (re)assaults. Otherwise, these people would remain unreachable for therapy. From a preventive point of view, this legal situation in Germany is therefore very welcome.

In the event of acute danger to oneself or others, the well-being of the person at risk comes first. In this case, the therapists work together with the participant to develop steps to end the acute danger.
