ANNUAL REPORT
Zurich / Switzerland 2025
PINOCCHIO, Beratungsstelle für Eltern und Kinder
I am delighted that I was able to produce the annual report from 2024 for the Pinocchio advice center again this year. This year’s theme is everyday life. PINOCCHIO is there for everyday life, for the worries that arise every day, for the burdens that add up to a mountain that is no longer manageable and certainly can no longer be overcome. What’s more, worries often don’t come alone. It often occurs in a difficult society, with pressure at work, with tensions in relationships, with unclear, tight financial circumstances. The weakest in this situation are their own children and adolescents, who are emotionally close, but whose behavior draws on their last reserves of strength.
