Mutruf - einander Halt geben e.V.

Qui sommes-nous

“Mutruf” is purely a “people-to-people” initiative. It is a telephone service in which (formerly) affected people volunteer to offer other panic sufferers an understanding opportunity to talk if they are having or fear a panic attack. It's good to have someone at your side who can remind you of the basic rules for dealing with anxiety in acute situations, for example, if you can't recall them yourself..

"Mutruf" was founded at the beginning of 2019 so that people affected by fear and panic could talk to someone in acute fear situations and receive uncomplicated and direct support, without the worry of becoming a burden to anyone. We see ourselves as a kind of "door opener at eye level" because this is often the first step in recognizing that it's good to open up and that there are many options for help and it's not a bad thing to accept them..

“Mutruf” is NOT the same as medical or psychological care, does not pursue any specific therapeutic approaches and no diagnoses are made. The caller uses "Mutruf" with the knowledge and agreement that we cannot give any guarantees that we can "magic away" a panic attack, but that he/she does not have to go through it alone and agrees with his/her call that this is a purely a friendship service!

“Mutruf” is not to be confused with telephone counselling. We help in acute situations. Individual and fundamental support goes beyond our objectives.
