Our counselling service for young people up to the age of 21 around the issue of alcohol is called "HaLT - Hart am Limit" and aims to protect children and young people from high-risk and harmful alcohol consumption

Our "HaLT" counselling sessions provide support for children, teens and young adults on the topic of alcohol and combined drug use and also support the parents and caregivers of those affected. We provide confidential advice over the phone, by video call or in person at our counselling centre in Cologne

"HaLT" risk assessment

During the risk assessment, those affected learn how to better assess their risk behaviour either in a group or individual setting. We use interactive ways to educate participants about the risks of alcohol abuse and how it can lead to addiction. Feel free to get in touch to arrange an appointment!
