Meet the people behind our mission to protect children's emotional well-being.

Samuel Schürer

Psychological counselor since 1993

Why am I related to this subject?

For more than three decades of practice, I have witnessed over and over how adult clients are still suffering from the emotional and psychological maltreatment they endured as children.

As a couple counselor, I have also observed how parent conflicts can numb them to the suffering their children go through. Tragically, parents often repeat the patterns of harm they once endured. To break this cycle, we must protect the most vulnerable: our children.

Patrik Takáč

Administration / Communication Manager

Why am I related to this subject?

I believe that communication is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape the world. For me, it is an opportunity to contribute to the protection of children and to the prevention of emotional abuse – an issue still far too often overlooked in our society.

I want my work to have meaning beyond itself – to support change that I consider both necessary and right.

Elena Vargová

Legal Expert & Advocacy Lead

Why am I related to this subject?

Throughout my legal career, I have seen the justice system fail children because emotional scars don't show up on X-rays. I joined this cause to bridge the gap between psychological reality and legal protection.

My mission is to ensure that the law recognizes psychological manipulation as a serious harm and that every child has a legal right to an environment free from emotional violence.
