Interkulturelle Jugendwohngruppe IJWG Neuhof

This is important to us

The IJWG Neuhof is a shift work group that provides care 365 days a year. Eight teenagers and young adults find their home here on three floors.

Each young person has a designated caregiver who is part of a team of educational professionals.

The main goal of our facility is to help young people become independent in their own apartments, as responsible, self-reliant, and self-determined citizens.

The intercultural approach of the residential group is aimed at all young people, but especially refugees, and supports them in integrating into our society and dealing with the everyday challenges of life.
  

The main topics in daily interactions with young people are support in school or work, developing healthy lifestyle habits, healthcare and leisure activities, and dealing with authorities.

The educational work is embedded in a systemic approach, trauma pedagogy, and nonviolent communication, and addresses the participatory skills of the young people. The young people are encouraged to strengthen their own personalities and their ability to relate to their fellow human beings.
