Perspektive Thurgau

What Perspektive Thurgau does

Perspektive Thurgau is a Swiss non-profit organization founded in 1947 and headquartered in Weinfelden, Canton Thurgau. It operates as a Gemeindezweckverband (a municipal joint-purpose association) with a public mandate to deliver health promotion, prevention, and counseling services to residents of Thurgau. The organization runs nine regional offices across the canton and offers parent counseling, youth counseling, addiction counseling, couple and family counseling, and broader health promotion programs, with most services provided free of charge to Thurgau residents.

The organization's service delivery combines in-person consultations at its regional offices with phone, email, Microsoft Teams video conferencing, and a chatbot for appointment booking. Sub-brands TuschKi and Eldi are used to deliver specialized digital programs, and the organization partners with Helpline Thurgau to provide crisis support. Revenue is sourced primarily from the Canton of Thurgau and member municipalities; the only direct user fee is for legal consultation, priced at CHF 130–150 per session. No proprietary technology platform, paid subscription product, or commercial revenue line is in operation.

In January 2026, Perspektive Thurgau merged with conex familia, extending its geographic footprint to include Amriswil and Bischofszell. A scheduled leadership transition from Markus van Grinsven to Felix Suter is set for June 2026. The organization is structurally a publicly mandated service provider rather than a venture-backable growth business, and its expansion is bounded by its cantonal public-sector remit.
