Consulting services

Men also ask themselves questions and seek answers. In many cases, sports, a walk in the woods, a conversation with a friend or our loved ones, for a beer in the pub help us. Sometimes we reach our limits and need more. At this point, you're in the right place when it comes to men's questions.

Parents before separation

Psychologically, socially and economically, the separation of parents sets in motion a chain of changes in living conditions and relationships - a process that changes the lives of all those affected, especially the children. Children often blame themselves, seek part of the blame for the separation of their parents. Quarrels or lack of communication between the parents often intensify this.

We sensitize parents to the needs of their children in separation situations and help them to jointly shape and take responsibility for parenthood even after a separation.

Coaching for man

A reflective, solution-oriented conversation from man to man. In our specialist office, both in view or out in the open with foresight in motion.

In the first place is your concern, the problem, the challenge, your question.

Coaching for couples

Couples consist of two partly different people. There are ups and downs as well as some challenges. You should tackle these together.

During an initial consultation, which is free of charge, we will show you possible ways forward and explain what the opportunities and risks might be. We also support you in focusing on broader common interests, such as the well-being of the child. This helps you to find solutions that are in the interest of all parties involved. You will also reduce frustration, idle time and costs.

Mediation for couples

Mediation is a negotiation process accompanied by neutral and trained mediators. These support the conflicting parties in solving their problem in a goal-oriented and independent manner. They structure the negotiation between the disputants, but are not responsible for its content and outcome. Mediation is always useful when the coexistence or further cooperation is at risk.

The attitude of mediators is "all-partial". Thus, unequal power relations are balanced, attempts to influence one side as well as the other are prevented, an escalation of the conflict is prevented, mutual understanding is promoted and a mutual change of perspective is achieved. The interests and needs of all parties involved are taken into account. The goal of mediation is a win-win solution. Looking to the future is more important than "who was at fault".

Men's Issues also recommends mediation when there is great tension in the partnership and amicable solutions are difficult to achieve as a couple. Mediation can be a valuable help for a good further living together or help to arrange a separation for all involved - woman, man, children - well. And - last but not least - it can help to save lawyer and court costs in case of conflict.

The Liechtenstein Mediation Association provides detailed information on its homepage about mediation and the various mediators. Concerning the procedure, costs as well as in case of financial bottleneck or further questions you are welcome to contact us or to take advantage of a coaching for the man for further decision.

Violence consulting

Offender counseling

Our counseling work specializes primarily in the so-called "dark field," i.e., perpetrators who are not recorded by the police or otherwise. Contrary to the often widespread but unproven assertion that people who commit violence do not seek counseling "of their own accord," i.e., on their own initiative, we know that they do just that. In many cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, there are now low-threshold counseling services that are easy for clients to contact. However, there is one important prerequisite for this: there must be a suitable offer for those who engage in violence, through which they are neither pathologized nor controlled in the counseling and thus prosecuted.

Victim counseling (m/f/d)

Have you been affected by domestic or public violence as a victim and are ashamed to talk about it? We offer absolute discretion.

For men: you are not the only one in Liechtenstein.
For women: We are here for you, too.
For Divers: As a man, we stand by you.
