IMMEDIATE AID
ATEK offers several options for support.
In the following I would like to introduce these.
"THE SORRORS THAT DO NOT SPEAK GNAW AT THE HEART UNTIL IT BREAKS."
William Shakespeare
CONCERN PHONE
The PTSD of our loved ones sometimes presents us with great challenges, sometimes it becomes an emotional emergency.
In these situations, the helpline is available to ensure that you can be contacted as quickly as possible. But the number can also be called at any other time if you need it.
Advice for children, young people and parents
Children and young people experience everyday life with the PTSD of parents, siblings, etc. differently than adults, and parents also need support in dealing with the sometimes stressful family situation caused by PTSD. Children, young people and parents can contact Lena via the helpline or WhatsApp and share their worries and concerns. She is available to us on a voluntary basis as a social worker, B.Sc., and knows what it is like. She is the daughter of a veteran herself.
INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS
Sometimes it's easier to talk face to face. If you don't yet feel comfortable speaking in a group, you can arrange a one-on-one appointment with me online. Here we can talk about what's bothering you in a safe space without any obligation.
If you need long-term, more intensive support, our psychologist Sinja is available to help you on a voluntary basis. You can register at any time using the contact form. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
ONLINE SELF-HELP GROUP for relatives of traumatized veterans & emergency personnel
Simply listen and benefit from the experiences of others or really let off steam. Both are possible in my online self-help group. We meet every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and exchange ideas about everyday life with our traumatized loved ones. In a relaxed and safe environment. Join in and register!
April 2024
First ONLINE SELF-HELP GROUP for traumatized veterans & emergency personnel
From April, the first online self-help group for traumatized emergency personnel will take place under the leadership of my husband Martin Thamm-Sparwald (peer). An exchange on an equal footing, from comrade to comrade.
No one fights alone!

Julia & Tom
In cooperation with ATEKeV, we offer our voluntary support to stressed emergency personnel and their families.
Emergency personnel and their partners are often faced with special challenges, which are clearly reflected in their relationships and families.
We know this situation from our own experience. We support you on your journey! Together we will find a path out of the spiral of conflict and towards a future of strengthened, happy and peaceful coexistence.
We will find new paths, options and directions together.
Do you need help? Let's have a no-obligation conversation. We look forward to hearing from you!
