The offers are based on the individual needs of those affected and are anchored in the social space in order to achieve sustainable improvements.
The mission statement of HilfeHafen is characterized by empathy, commitment and the conviction that every person has the right to participation and development. The mission is to actively accompany young people and their families in difficult phases of life, to strengthen them and to open up new perspectives for them. The aim is to stabilize the family environment, compensate for developmental delays and improve educational opportunities and social integration [2][5].
Values such as trust, respect, expertise and reliability are at the heart of our actions. HilfeHafen attaches great importance to a cooperative partnership with those affected and with other actors in the social and health system.
HilfeHafen pursues social sustainability as a central goal. This means securing the quality of life of young people and their families in the long term through targeted assistance and preventing new dependencies on aid systems. The support aims to promote personal responsibility and independence so that they continue to exist even after the completion of a measure.
Initiatives for social participation play an important role: The company is committed to ensuring that young people have access to education, work, culture and social life. The promotion of inclusion and equal opportunities is a central aspect of daily work. The offers are regularly adapted to the needs of the social space in order to enable sustainable positive developments.
Innovation in the aid portfolio is demonstrated by the targeted further development of new forms of support, such as digitally supported advice or close networking with local networks. In this way, HilfeHafen contributes to picking up on social developments and reacting flexibly to them.
HilfeHafen is a young company that was founded in 2024 and currently has an operating size of 10 to 45 employees [1]. Despite its novelty, the organization is already recognized in the Berlin area as a competent partner in outpatient youth welfare. The legal form as a non-profit GmbH underlines the focus on social goals - profit maximization is expressly not the goal.
HilfeHafen gGmbH stands for professional, committed and sustainable support for children, adolescents and families who are in difficult life situations. With individual assistance and a broad network, the company promotes social participation, opens up educational opportunities and supports the development of professional perspectives. Driven by appreciation and responsibility, HilfeHafen makes an important contribution to greater equal opportunities and social sustainability in the region.
