There are alternatives to violence

At Alternative to Violence (ATV) we understand violence as an expression of a personal problem. Violence is a problem that is possible to receive treatment for. Over the course of almost 30 years ATV has contributed to increasing the understanding of family violence as a societal problem that needs to be addressed. We offer psychological treatment to perpetrators of violence, adult and child victims of domestic violence and to teenagers with violence and aggression problems.
