The FSD FAMOS gGmbH is a dedicated independent provider of youth welfare in Berlin, specializing in outpatient and inpatient assistance for education (HzE). Founded in 1996 as Verein FAMOS e.V. and since 2016 as gGmbH in the association of the FSD-Stiftung, the company offers qualified support for families, children and young people in psychosocially burdened situations.[1][2][4]
FSD FAMOS acts as a focus provider for outpatient child and youth welfare, especially in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district, but cooperates with youth welfare offices and regional social services throughout Berlin. At four Berlin locations, highly qualified specialists - exclusively university graduates in social pedagogy, pedagogy, educational science and psychology with additional training such as family therapy and mediation - work directly with clients.[2][3][6]
The wide range of services includes:
The name FAMOS stands for familienorientierte sozialpädagogische Hilfen (family-oriented socio-pedagogical assistance) and reflects the spectrum: predominantly outpatient care in the family environment, supplemented by inpatient solutions.[2]
The core mission of FSD FAMOS is the promotion of youth welfare through holistic, child welfare-oriented support. "The child always remains a child - but will eventually grow up," emphasizes director Cornelia Unkrodt, which underlines the long-term support. Values such as professionalism, interculturality and close cooperation with partners characterize the work. As a corporate member of the AWO Landesverband Berlin e.V., the company stands for social responsibility and inclusion.[1][3][4]
In the association of the FSD-Stiftung - together with FSD Lwerk (for people with disabilities), FSE-Gruppe (care, catering, facility) and the foundation itself - the association employs over 1,000 employees and forms a strong player in the social sector of Berlin and Brandenburg.[1][5]
Although specific sustainability reports are not detailed in the sources, the association's robust structure - despite challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019/2020 - shows a stable basis for long-term social initiatives. FSD FAMOS contributes to social sustainability by promoting prevention and integration, averting homelessness and supporting refugees. The focus on qualified, experienced teams and interdisciplinary approaches ensures economic and professional resilience.[4]
With over 25 years of experience, FSD FAMOS is a reliable partner for sustainable youth welfare, turning everyday challenges into strengths and enabling young people to live independently.[1][2][9]
