Intervention and counselling center for perpetrator work in cases of domestic violence.
The program offered by hoppenbank eV is aimed at men and women who have perpetrated psychological, physical, sexual, or digital violence and are willing to take responsibility for their actions. In a safe and supportive environment, participants work together with experienced professionals to understand the origins of violence and how conflicts can be resolved peacefully in the future. The goal is a future free from violence and safe, respectful relationships. Participation requires an initial personal consultation and a willingness to honestly examine one's own behavior. The program is also available to incarcerated individuals: the initial consultation can also take place at the Bremen (Oslebshausen) correctional facility. The work is based on the standards of the Federal Association for Perpetrator Work in Domestic Violence.
