We are a non-profit association that primarily offers assistance to men and children, but of course also mothers
in difficult life situations – especially in cases of
separation, contact rights and violence prevention.
Many parents otherwise find no space where they are heard, taken seriously and supported.
Women can also turn to us if they need specific support in the area of
contact rights. We work with a mixed team and support
every person who seeks help.
Our goal: a fair, objective and solution-oriented collaboration
for everyone involved, and ideally even before an escalation or legal dispute arises.

Our association is committed to conflict prevention at an early stage as well as the careful reconciliation of parents with their children after separation conflicts – always with a focus on the child's best interests. Through conversations, mediation, supervised visitation and psychosocial support, we create safe spaces in which trusting relationships can develop (or redevelop).
Politically, we deliberately position ourselves nowhere – we are neither left nor right. If anything, we are lobbyists – but exclusively for one single group: children.
We mediate neutrally between parents to resolve conflicts and enable contact with the child.
Our team specializes in gradually maintaining / rebuilding safe contact between father and child.
We inform about visitation and custody rights and mediate solutions. Always with priority on calming the situation in high-conflict cases.
We help EVERYONE! who has children (including grandchildren, etc.) to process emotional burdens and maintain contact.
We provide information about parent-child alienation and strengthen awareness for fair solutions.
We connect those affected and offer group exchange for mutual support.
Die Bruderschaft pursues six interlocking concepts that understand child welfare and equal parental responsibility as a task for society as a whole – from acute crisis intervention to European legal reform.
The Men's House offers men in separation crises a safe point of contact for initial orientation ...before violence arises.
We offer a counterbalance to the countless victim protection facilities for women, in order to give men, especially in psychological states of emergency, support.

It connects existing structures without absorbing them, and strengthens collective effectiveness.
Our contact points worldwideThe Prevention Module intervenes early in family situations at risk of escalation – before the system takes over. It combines low-threshold counseling, standardized risk assessment and targeted intervention to de-escalate separation conflicts before they burden children, authorities and courts.
The Shared Residence Initiative advocates for a modern child law that anchors equal parental responsibility as the legal guiding model – with clear protective limits in cases of violence and consistent prevention of contact breakdowns. The initiative works at the Austrian and European level on a legal reform that structurally safeguards the child's best interests.
The Men's House offers men in acute separation crises a safe, low-threshold point of contact – and prevents escalations before they permanently burden families and children. It creates space for stabilization, legal guidance and initial psychosocial support, without those affected having to immediately navigate a complete support system.
The Award makes businesses visible that deliberately take responsibility for children and young people in everyday life – whether through family-friendly working hours, active support for fathers or awareness-raising within the company.
