Patouch Protects Children
Patouch is committed to combating all forms of violence involving children and adolescents. Many young people are victims or perpetrators of violence or abuse. A large number of them lack the knowledge and tools needed to respond appropriately to these threats. This observation was made by our President and Founder, Bernard Jaquet, during his former career as a criminal investigation police inspector.
The association was established in 2000 and officially founded in 2004.
Our Mission
In a rapidly changing world, our association continues to adapt. After delivering educational programs in schools for more than twenty years, Patouch has broadened its prevention initiatives to support families wherever they are.

From everyday resources to on-the-ground initiatives, discover
how Patouch supports children, families, and professionals.
NoWay!
NoWay! is an educational video game developed by Patouch to help children aged 9 and above recognize and de-escalate situations involving violence. As players encounter these scenarios throughout the game, their choices shape the storyline, allowing them to explore, at their own pace and in a safe environment, how to understand such situations and develop their own responses.
NoWay! will be available free of charge on smartphones and tablets from October 26, 2026.
The Patouch App
After two years of innovation, Patouch brings together all of its resources in a single, easy-to-use application designed to support the everyday needs of families and professionals.
The app includes the Patouch Toolbox, educational and engaging videos, audiobooks, games, a dedicated calm-time area, and quick access to support and emergency helplines.
Available free of charge on the App Store and Google Play.
