In Switzerland there is a broad spectrum of services providing help to parents, families and children. In many cases the advice is free.
Parental advice
Parents of infants and toddlers can contact the Parental Advice Service for support with issues such as feeding, care, support and upbringing. You can even get help if your child cries a lot or is unsettled. You can either call in at an advice centre, the counsellors can visit you at home, or they can provide information over the telephone or online. Contact the municipality where you live for information about the advisory services in your region.
School psychological service
In the canton of Grisons there are regional offices in Chur, Davos/Platz, Domat/Ems, Ilanz, Landquart, Poschiavo St. Moritz, Scuol, Roveredo and Thusis. Further information and the relevant contacts details are available from the Amt für Volksschule und Sport (Department for Elementary School and Sport) website.
