About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The guiding principle at the "Wohnverbund Soziale Psychiatrie" (Social Psychiatry Housing) is to offer every person with mental impairments the time to stabilize and grow a perspective to move on. The staff members always offer an open ear, advise and support and promote motivation to become active, but also respect the limits of each individual within the group. Your place of employment is inpatient assisted living - clients are intensively accompanied through their daily lives. These groups consist of three to four flat mates living in single rooms and sharing a flat together. You are supporting the professionals in organizing the day or individual support measures and encouraging the residents in acquiring or maintaining skills. You are motivating the residents to participate in activities, therapeutic offers and events. You are involved in projects and will take part in excursions and leisure trips. If you play an instrument bring it along, the housing association even has a band

🏠 Accommodation on site

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
