Kastanienhof Ansbach is a child, youth and family welfare institution that is committed to giving young people in difficult situations support and perspectives. Under the motto "We provide support for life", the Kastanienhof offers a wide range of inpatient, semi-inpatient and outpatient assistance.
The core services include curative education day-care centers, where children and young people aged 4 to 14 are cared for and supported. Here, work is carried out in age-appropriate groups in order to take the individual needs of the young people into account as best as possible.
Another important area is the therapeutic residential groups, which offer children and young people a temporary home if care in their own family is not possible. The aim is to support the young people in their development and to prepare them for an independent life or to enable them to return to their family. The residential groups offer a protected environment in which the children and young people can experience their everyday lives together and cope with personal difficulties.
For children and young people who are in acute crisis situations, the Kastanienhof offers accommodation. This child and youth protection group serves as a short-term crisis intervention and to avert dangers to the well-being of the child. As part of the clearing process, the child's/young person's further support needs are clarified and a suitable follow-up facility is sought.
The offer is supplemented by outpatient assistance, which supports families and young people in their usual environment. The aim is to strengthen the parenting skills of the parents and to help the young people to cope with their challenges.
The Kastanienhof Ansbach sees itself as a lively organization that is open to further development and change. The employees work together in multi-professional teams and attach great importance to a respectful and cooperative partnership with the young people and their families.
An important value of the Kastanienhof is the empowerment of young people to realize their individual life goals and to become responsible members of society. The strengths and resources of the young people are promoted and they are given the space and framework to grow and develop.
As a diaconal organization, a positive attitude to its mission is important to Kastanienhof Ansbach.
