Volunteering in Wilhelmshaven: Wohnverbund Soziale Psychiatrie (assisted living groups) 2024
Date start: 01 Sep 2024
Date end: 31 Aug 2025
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
