When a person becomes the victim of a crime, their whole life changes. Fear, despair or even anger suddenly become the predominant feelings. The focus is on trying to understand and come to terms with what they have experienced. Most victims have only one wish: they want to forget everything, move on, return to normality – but how?

TAG X – MEIN LEBEN DANACH is a prevention format that tells the stories of the victims, classifies them, explains them and provides support. Why did you fall for the fraudster? How do you behave during a robbery? What to do in an escalating violent situation?

Viewers learn tips and advice on how to prevent an emergency. Life coaching without the finger-wagging is also what presenter Dirk Heinrichs stands for. The 49-year-old author, actor and founder of the association “Sprache gegen Gewalt e.V.” has been working in violence prevention for years. For TAG X – MEIN LEBEN DANACH, he visits the victims at home and helps them to take the first steps back to normality by inspecting files, confronting perpetrators, visiting psychologists and other measures. The prevention expert cannot undo the crime, but he can make life easier afterwards.

ZDFneo showed the ten-part factual entertainment series TAG X – MEIN LEBEN DANACH from December 2014.
