JUNO Zentrum für Getrennt und Alleinerziehende

JUNO is a non-profit organization founded specifically by single parents for single parents. The organization serves as a central place for networking, support, and counseling for all separated and single parents.

• Counseling and Support: JUNO offers counseling services conducted by experienced (former) single parents. These consultations are particularly valuable as they come from people who have had similar experiences[4].
• Workshops and Events: The organization organizes various workshops, including pregnancy workshops for single parents, led by a midwife. Childcare is also provided during these workshops[4].
• Housing Projects: JUNO collaborates with developers to plan apartments in housing projects and allocate them to single parents. An example of this is cluster apartments, where single parents live together in a community and receive support[3][4].

The main mission of JUNO is to provide single parents with a supportive community and comprehensive resources to tackle the challenges of single parenting. The organization places great importance on the mental health and well-being of single parents and their children. Networking and exchange among members are central aspects of JUNO's work[4].

• Community Building: JUNO promotes the formation of communities where single parents can find support and exchange. This is achieved through the organization of workshops, events, and the creation of housing projects focused on community[3][4].
• Barrier-Free Accessibility: The facilities of JUNO are barrier-free accessible to ensure that all members can participate without obstacles[2].
• Health Promotion: The organization provides helpful tips and information for maintaining the mental and physical health of single parents and their children. Studies show that it is often more difficult for single parents to stay healthy, and JUNO works to address these challenges[4].
