Helplines in Switzerland.

Is your family too complicated to live with? Free helplines are available in Switzerland

Family problems can be difficult to cope with. Personality clashes and communication breakdowns hurt the most when they happen at home. Whether you’re struggling with family-based abuse, trauma, tension, addiction or even parents who demand perfection, you are not alone. Take the first step and contact one of 4 helplines in Switzerland if you're experiencing the following:

• Family members who don’t support you due to issues of trust, miscommunication or abuse.
• Struggles with generational, cultural or religious differences within the family.
• Co-dependency, in which a family member relies on you for emotional, mental or physical support.
• Perfectionism, pressure or abuse from your parent, guardian, sibling or spouse.
• Personality clashes, arguments and fights in your family.
• Family members who depend on you for things they cannot do for themselves.
• Problems caused by a lack of money for resources such as food, clothing and accommodation.
• Problems such as consistent rivalry, mistrust or personality clashes between any of your family members.

When you're experiencing family problems, you may tend to blame yourself. But you are not responsible for the behavior of your family members. While you can't control the poor behavior of others, you can get help with how to respond.

Family problems can be difficult to manage alone. You may feel like you have nobody to turn to for emotional support and guidance. Fortunately, helpline volunteers in Switzerland are available to talk. No matter what you're going through, you can get private, free support from a volunteer who cares.
