Kinderhäuser Steinhagen gGmbH
Über Kinderhäuser Steinhagen
editKinderhäuser Steinhagen is dedicated to improving the living situation and future prospects of children and adolescents. The focus is on protecting their integrity, well-being and rights. The company has been meeting this demand for decades with sophisticated concepts and procedures based on sound practical experience, practice research, organizational development and child and youth research.
Kinderhäuser Steinhagen relies on consistent systemic social pedagogy. The company assumes that there are no children with behavioral difficulties, but only difficult and disordered systems. Therefore, the focus is on observing and working on the entire environment of the child or adolescent.
The offer includes family-oriented residential groups and children's and youth homes. In the family-oriented residential groups, children and adolescents live together with the residential group management and their family under one roof. Children's and youth homes, on the other hand, offer an environment for young people for whom a family context has become too narrow. These offers are supplemented by mentoring groups, in which young people are given mentor parents in addition to their primary educators in order to expand existing bonds or to develop a sense of family connection at all.
The aim of the socio-educational work is to give young people protection, support, security, orientation and acceptance. Through an adaptable proximity-distance regulation, they should be able to calm down and be relieved. Relationship disorders are corrected through experienced trust and proximity-distance behavior is regulated. Further goals are the reduction of psychological and systemic burdens, the letting go of over-responsibility, the exploration and formulation of one's own needs and the overcoming of psychological and social disorders through social learning. Coaching in school and professional development as well as the development of development and maturation processes and the strengthening of self-confidence and systemic orientation are also important components of the work.
Kinderhäuser Steinhagen works in a familiar and family-like manner, takes into account systems of origin and their peculiarities and offers opportunities to cope with trauma. The company offers young people a home and a future.
