Coronavirus: what if tensions rise at home?

In some situations during this corona crisis, tensions run high at home. It is important that we look out for each other in times of need. Let us all make a safe "home together. Especially for the children in a vulnerable situation, especially at this time!

Who can I call if things escalate at home?

What can I do if I suspect domestic violence?

During this period of "mandatory distancing" and "home quarantine" due to the Coronavirus, it is good to pay extra attention to domestic violence, child abuse and unsafe home situations. 

With families spending all day together at home in connection with corona measures, tensions are more likely to rise. Vulnerable families in particular can reach their limits more quickly at this time, with all the risks that come with it. Let's work together to ensure that home is a safe place for everyone.
