The RECAP-ME association was founded in 2023 with the aim of creating a network of mothers in French-speaking Switzerland who have suffered psychological violence, and to highlight the collateral effects of violence on their children’s health.
Violence can be perpetrated by an individual or by an institution.
The aim of networking is to bring mothers out of their isolation and point them in the direction of solutions.
The association also aims to collect data on psychological violence and set up preventive actions in collaboration with other institutions.

The Nouveau Départ association is there to help victims of violence to take steps to escape the violence and avoid returning to it.
Our aim is to help people suffering domestic violence by offering a range of support services, including food, equipment and a listening ear. We have a 24/7 helpline staffed by volunteer responders.
