Affected café opened: Help after the tragic terrorist attack in Villach!

Moritschstraße 2, 9500 Villach, Österreich - The dark shadows of a tragic terrorist attack in Villach hang over the city. On February 14, a 14-year-old youth was brutally killed, which left a shock and a profound concern in the community. In response to this cruel deed, the Red Cross Carinthia has set up a café affected. This will take place from 18 to February 18th in the Bambergsaal of the Parkhotel in Villach, where the doors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (and on February 20 from 1pm to 4pm) for those affected, survivors and everyone who is looking for support are open, such as OTS reported. Here experiences are to be shared in a protected framework and support.

dr. Martin Pirz, President of the Red Cross in Carinthia, emphasizes the importance of such a offer and explains: "It is important to me that those affected are not left alone." Children and adolescents who suffer from events in particular now need support. In several schools in Villach and Klagenfurt, crisis intervention teams are available to help teachers and students. Barbara Juen, specialist director of the psychosocial services at the Austrian Red Cross, explains that children in particular are often faced with questions that question their feeling of security. They are affected by fear, anger and feelings of guilt, and open conversations can help process these emotions.
