Trier Information Centre Against Domestic Violence (CHG Trier)

CHG services in the regional court district of Trier

Violence in relationships and marriages is a cycle which is difficult to escape from alone. We offer:

• advice
• and social group training

for people who want to change their violent behaviour.

Initially individual discussions take place. Admission to a current group is aimed at.
The group work is then done in single-gender groups (e.g. purely men’s groups). The group management is done with equal gender representation (man/woman).

Our target groups

Men and women who perpetrate violence in close social relationships.
These are clients who

• come to us of their own free will (self-referring).
• are recommended to get in touch with us in the context of interrogation by the police.
• have received a sanction from the Crown Prosecution Service in accordance with § 153a StPO².
• or receive a probation stipulation from the court to use the CHG services.

The targets of our work are

• ending the perpetration of violence
• accepting responsibility for one’s own actions
• learning how to handle unpleasant situations and feelings without violence
• solving conflicts and arguments without violence
• victim protection through working with offenders

Our work is based on the standards for working with offenders set by the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft für Täterarbeit, BAG TäHG e.V. http://www.bag-täterarbeit.de

Costs

The initial discussions are free of charge. We charge a participation fee of at least 5.00 € per person for each group session.
