Dialog mod Vold

What Dialog mod Vold does

Dialog mod Vold is a Danish nonprofit treatment and competence center founded in 2002 and operating under the AskovFonden umbrella, providing free psychological treatment to families affected by domestic violence. Its core service is specialized psychotherapy for adult perpetrators of partner and family violence, supplemented by partner counseling, child therapy, couple/family sessions, and group therapy. Treatment is delivered through physical departments in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, and Slagelse (with Esbjerg closing August 2026), plus nationwide online/video sessions.

The organization's specialized technology consists of three primary screening and intervention models: the 'Sammen uden vold – Gravide' screening model for pregnant women (developed with Mary Fonden, Østifterne, and Amager og Hvidovre Hospital since 2019, identifying 1-2 affected couples weekly), the 'Sammen uden vold – Småbørnsfamilier' health-visitor screening model for families with infants (piloted in five municipalities), and the EU-funded I-COPE digital screening tool for maternity care being implemented in Denmark and Italy (2025-2027). The Videre Uden Vold consortium provides rapid five-session intervention without waitlists.

The business model is purely state-funded via the Danish Finance Act (Finansloven) and the national action plan against partner violence and partner homicide. Approximately 350 treatment slots are supplied annually against an estimated national need of 1,500. Treatment is free to clients, with referrals arriving via direct self-referral, police, municipal social services, and the 1888 Lev Uden Vold hotline. The organization has no external shareholders and is governed by AskovFonden, with Director Eva Kjer Hansen (appointed February 2024) leading public policy and media positioning.
