More recognition, less bureaucracy, attractive tax conditions and political stability - welcome to Switzerland! If you enjoy working amidst an idyllic landscape, finding peace after work and at the same time want to take on professional and personnel responsibility, you will find the right environment here.

The clinic operates a specialised ward for adult patients (18-50 years) in acute crises. With 18 beds and a multiprofessional team, people suffering from severe depression, psychoses, acute suicidality or self- and external endangerment are treated.

The treatment concept is resource-oriented, multimodal and consistently places the patients at the centre. This includes medication therapies, psychotherapeutic conversations, key worker care, group therapies (e.g. occupational therapy, movement therapy, resource activation) as well as close support from the social service.
