Who are we?
The LAVI Center staff is composed of a director, six psychologists, one lawyer and two secretary-accountants. Their competences combine smoothly to ensure each person’s follow-up, both for legal and psychosocial assistance.
Our Mission
The Center’s mission is to meet the needs of people who are victims of a criminal offence against their integrity (whether physical, sexual or psychological). Its intervention covers the legal, psychological and social fields.
Our Status
The Geneva LAVI Consultation Center is a private association, subsidized by the State. The Board of the Association is currently composed of 11 members from various backgrounds. The Committee of the Association is particularly competent to decide on requests for longer-term assistance.

To support our work:
