Mother-child therapy in Liechtenstein/Switzerland

The birth of a child is a very joyful event. But not every mother can enjoy her newborn child to the full. Between 10 and 15 percent of pregnant women suffer from a mental disorder. Fortunately, postpartum depression is an easily treatable illness with a high chance of recovery. The duration of treatment is between 8 and 12 weeks. It is important that mothers and their babies are not separated during this long period. Mother-child therapy is the solution here.

There are only a few therapy places in German-speaking Switzerland, which leads to long waiting times of two months or more for affected women from Liechtenstein. There is also a funding gap in this area in Liechtenstein. The costs of caring for the baby are not covered by health insurance, as the child itself is healthy. Mothers and families who are unable to take advantage of such therapy for financial reasons would have to do without this important help at a difficult time. SOS Children's Villages Liechtenstein is committed to helping these children and families and offers them unbureaucratic and rapid assistance for their hospital stay with their baby.
