Crisis Intervention Center Vienna
Support and counselling for people in acute crises
We are here for you.
If you find yourself in an acute crisis situation where you are confronted with acts or threats of violence or if you even have thoughts of not wanting to live anymore.
We are here to help you work through the acute crisis situations or the times of high suicidal risk or being threatened with violence. We can help you with telephone or personal counselling or advice via E-Mail, or with psychotherapeutic intervention and/or, if necessary, also with medical treatment to help you find a way to get out of the crisis.
For these conversations there will be no charge for you (except perhaps for any deductible your insurance company may require, if that is possible for you). The first conversation is possible even without your setting an appointment in advance. For conversations with a group of three or more persons we would appreciate setting this up in advance by telephone.
Interpreters can be arranged for counselling sessions.
