Therapeutic measures
In our socio-therapeutic facility we focus on the holistic therapy of our clients. We use available resources and encourage recreational activities as well as a structured course of the day. The occupational therapy as well as the housekeeping and kitchen area is crucial. We support the reintegration back into work life by internships in-house. Active participation in the therapy process and group rules are important to us. Our measures aim at the client to regain independence and social integration by maintaining contacts. Group discussions take place on a regular basis and various therapy methods such as psychology, experience-based training, stress relief practice, music, exercises, theater work, cognitive training and more. It is our goal to offer empathic and professional assistance for a fulfilled life.
Since the focus is on the individual personality structure and the disorder of each individual client, there is no standard proceeding, however, an individual adaption of the measures.
