[DeepL:] Adolescents are admitted who are in a conflictual, unstable domestic situation or who come from another youth welfare facility.
The aim is to enable the young people to become independent and to lead a life of their own responsibility. This includes the development of a life perspective in personal and professional terms, a strengthened self-confidence, the ability to deal with conflict and dialogue, frustration tolerance as well as a supportive social environment, which often also includes the pacification of the family situation. In living together in a group, the young people learn to get involved with each other. This requires consideration for the personal boundaries of fellow residents as well as the neighborhood.
In order to ensure interaction within the group, a binding framework is required that is recognized by all and is therefore also designed to be as participatory as possible. Experiential and group educational activities promote the willingness to cooperate, social learning and the identification of the group with each other as well as with the facility. During the time that the young people live with us, they receive counseling, guidance and support in building an individual perspective on life.
Our spacious apartments, which are identical in construction, each offer 4 equally sized, bright rooms for the young people. The housing project is in an attractive location on the Stralau peninsula, conveniently situated between Ostkreuz and Treptower Park.
