Address:

The AHG-Aargau is the cantonal point of contact for domestic violence. The AHG contacts all parties involved following a police intervention due to domestic violence. It advises and informs self- and third-party reporters about support services and how to proceed. If children are involved, the child protection groups are consulted. The AHG also offers a learning programme or violence counselling for perpetrators of violence, especially if an official order or recommendation has been issued.

The BBT are for children of separated, divorced, single parents or parents living in other conflict-ridden circumstances in the canton of Aargau.

Parents who are confronted with particular separation, divorce or other conflicts and are unable to exercise visiting rights independently in the best interests of the child are offered a protected framework for exercising visiting rights under professional supervision.
