We accompany people. Empathetically, with specific specialist knowledge and professional experience.  

Our attitude
 

The focus of our work is on understanding lifeworlds and taking individual resources and coping strategies into account.

We mainly refer to Hans Thiersch's approach of lifeworld or everyday life orientation and maintain a trauma-informed approach, with child protection/child welfare and adult protection being central to this. As professionals, we have a broad knowledge of theories and methods that enable careful case diagnosis and flexible process planning. We continue to deepen and expand our specialist knowledge through ongoing training. Our work is transparent and participatory. We are able to have a stabilizing effect and act appropriately in crises. Our many years of experience in the areas of domestic violence, traumatization, transculturality and migration help us to recognize and understand connections and coping strategies and to initiate and support desirable processes.

Our clients and our clients have concerns in the following areas:

• Development, protection and promotion of children and adolescents
• Stabilizing, validating and empowering individuals and systems
• Self and career development/biographical understanding
• Dealing with mental and physical impairments and illnesses
• Maintaining and promoting autonomy
• Promoting self-determination in people affected by dementia, constructive involvement of the environment and coordination of the support system
• Interventions adapted to the situation and requirements

We meet the demand for sustainability that we place on our work by paying attention to the following points: Lifeworld orientation, comprehensive inclusion of psychosocial sensitivities and a multi-perspective approach.

We focus on safety, child and adult protection, visitation arrangements, marital protection, education and psychoeducation.

Everyday life offers a wide range of opportunities for integration, such as daily structure, nutrition, personal hygiene, health, education, work, language, sexuality, leisure and finances.

In order to take psychological factors into account and to recognize pathological conditions in good time, we rely on regular case supervision by an experienced psychiatrist.

We attach great importance to a fruitful and respectful team culture, not least because we believe that this has a positive impact on our work with clients. We are supported in this by a competent team supervisor.

We are a member of the AvenirSocial professional association and adhere to the guidelines of the professional code of conduct.
