Target group

Familien Support Bern West sees child and youth support as family support.
We support children from the age of 2, young people up to and including the transition to vocational training and their families with a proven need for social and/or special educational support. We work with families who want support with regard to their children's development or who are required to accept it by the authorities.

Social educational support and care services individually or in combination

For the benefit of the children and young people and for the purpose of sustainable inclusion and integration, we systematically involve their parents as well as their environment and the specialist agencies involved. Together, we develop effective forms of support using the following service modules:

Accompanying and supporting families in the right place

Care for children and young people in day and residential groups as a supplement to family care

Assisting parents with parenting issues and gaining new everyday experiences with their children

Discovering, activating and coordinating support in the family environment

Coordinating family councils

Special educational services

The basis of our teaching is Curriculum 21. We take into account the individual abilities, skills and needs of the pupils. Our aim is to provide them with educational experiences and learning success that are relevant to everyday life

The children and young people explore their potential in flexible teaching options and develop their skills at their own pace in a conducive learning environment. Teachers strengthen, challenge and support them on their learning path as much as possible in line with their needs.

A positive attitude and the careful promotion of skills, supported by social rituals, clear structures and rules, enable students to learn solution-oriented learning and behavior patterns.

We always encourage and support the children and young people to take further steps towards independence, mainstream school and vocational training. Parents play an important role in this. We work closely together.
