Brief description (max. 280 characters):
Der Begleiter gGmbH is a non-profit organization based in Hamburg-Bergedorf since 1986 that offers psychosocial and medical assistance to people in difficult life situations. Founded by socially committed citizens, the company's mission is to sustainably improve the personal quality of life of its clients through individual counseling, support and therapeutic measures. The focus is on helping people to help themselves and a holistic, resource-oriented view of people, which takes into account both strengths and weaknesses.
The range of services offered by Der Begleiter includes psychosocial counseling, social counseling, migration counseling and a variety of group activities such as occupational therapy and work therapy treatments. The portfolio is complemented by day-structuring offers and assisted living arrangements, which particularly benefit people with mental illnesses and enable them to shape their everyday lives in a self-determined way. The organization is closely networked with regional partners such as the Bethesda Krankenhaus Bergedorf, the Trägerverbund psychische Gesundheit, Alsterarbeit and other social institutions to ensure a comprehensive and integrated support system.
The company's values are based on respect for each person's individual path, on empathy and on the endeavor to create sustainable solutions for overcoming social and psychological problems. Der Begleiter promotes the self-efficacy of its clients by providing them with skills to act and supporting them in shaping their life situation independently.
Sustainability orientation at Der Begleiter is primarily reflected in the permanent creation of social participation and the strengthening of mental health in the community. By offering low-threshold and needs-based assistance, social integration is promoted, which in the long term supports social cohesion and quality of life. Further explicit environmental or ecologically focused sustainability measures are not highlighted on the website or in the available materials.
With currently around 71 employees in Germany, Der Begleiter, as an established social institution, stands for a professional and trustworthy psychosocial care concept in Hamburg that is oriented towards the current needs of the people and is constantly being developed. The organization is a non-profit gGmbH and is supported by the Gemeinnützigen Stiftung der Begleiter.
This combination of social commitment, individual support and networked cooperation makes Der Begleiter an important point of contact for people with psychological stress and need for support in southeastern Hamburg.
