Have you or your child experienced violence? A traumatic experience often leaves deep psychological and physical traces, such as intrusive memories, sleep problems, irritability, anxiety, fits of rage or withdrawal. These reactions are normal after stressful events, but can worsen and lead to mental illness. Do not hesitate to seek help - we will be happy to support you in coping with these stresses. The trauma outpatient clinic is a cooperation between the Clinic for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the FEK and the Diakonisches Werk Altholstein counseling center.
