AMBER® gGmbH

The AMBER gGmbH is a recognized provider of independent youth welfare, specializing in supporting children, adolescents, and adults in Ostwestfalen-Lippe and Southern Lower Saxony. Since its founding in 2001, AMBER has offered individual and tailored educational assistance to manage crises in families and social environments.

• Outpatient Educational Assistance: These include socio-pedagogical family support and educational assistance, offered by outreach teams of specialists in the regions of Bielefeld, Hameln, Herford, and Minden[1][2].
• Language and Cultural Mediation: Intercultural educational assistance supports families with a migration background in overcoming language barriers[1][2].
• U6 Shelter Groups: Temporary care for young children up to 6 years old who have to leave their families[1][4].
• Family-Analogous Facilities: Inpatient assistance in the form of socio-pedagogical living communities, foster homes, or family group homes for children and adolescents who cannot live in their families of origin[1][2].

The mission of AMBER is to support young people in managing crises, including their family system and social environment. A central value is individual and family-oriented care, tailored to the specific needs of the families[2].

Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, AMBER's commitment to sustainable social development is demonstrated by the continuous adaptation of its services to the needs of the community. The inclusion of language and cultural mediators in the assistance process is an example of promoting inclusion and social integration[1][2].

AMBER gGmbH thus offers a comprehensive range of support services aimed at the long-term stabilization and promotion of families and children. Through the combination of outpatient and inpatient assistance as well as intercultural services, a comprehensive approach to managing crises in families and social environments is pursued.
