About us

We are here for you!
Graphic: Faces of Betroffenenberatung Rhineland-Palatinate

In Rhineland-Palatinate, our counseling services are available to people who have been affected by right-wing, racist, or anti-Semitic violence—whether directly, as relatives, or as witnesses to an incident. Unfortunately, such attacks are part of everyday life for many people, and we are committed to ensuring that those affected do not remain alone with their experiences.

The forms of this violence are manifold.

They range from graffiti with hate symbols, verbal abuse, and intimidation to physical attacks or even (attempted) murder. Violence is not only physical—psychological or verbal assaults can also leave deep scars.

As a counseling center, we therefore take all forms of violence seriously and provide support on various levels.

We accompany those affected in processing their experiences, offer help in classifying events, and advise on possible further steps—individually and confidentially. There are no specific criteria that need to be met: anyone who feels distressed by an incident can contact us.

We work according to the quality standards of the VBRG e.V., the Association of Counseling Centers for Victims of Right-wing, Racist, and Anti-Semitic Violence. In this way, we strive to ensure the best possible counseling for our clients.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, counseling services are provided by two regional contact points. People in the north-west region are advised by AWO Bezirksverband Rheinland e.V., while those in the central-south region are advised by Wertzeug e.V. Together, they cover the entire federal state and guarantee comprehensive support.

Our employees are mobile and can provide advice on site if requested. Close cooperation within our team ensures that victims can be supported promptly and reliably.
