The Service de lutte contre la violence domestique (SLVD) organises consultations on violence. These are offered as part of a prevention programme in the form of individual interviews or discussion groups. They are aimed at people who have resorted to violence or are afraid of doing so, and who want to learn how to resolve conflicts peacefully.
The Service for Perpetrators of Domestic Violence (SAVC) is a functional unit of the Centre Neuchâtelois de Psychiatrie (CNP).
The SAVC offers people who have been violent towards their partner individual interviews and therapeutic group work with counsellors trained in this specific field. SAVC helps men and women put an end to domestic violence, whether physical, psychological, sexual, social or economic.
