Das Kinderschutz-Zentrum Stuttgart is a legally constituted foundation established in 1991 and a recognized youth welfare organization specializing in comprehensive advice and support in the area of child protection. With a team of approximately 20 specialists, the center offers help for children, adolescents, parents, and other caregivers who are affected by physical, psychological, or sexual violence, as well as neglect. It also supports children and adolescents with conspicuous aggressive or dissocial behavior, always within the framework of a solution-oriented approach that is based on help rather than punishment[1][2][5].
The main mission of the Kinderschutz-Zentrum Stuttgart is to empower parents and children so that they can live together without violence. The work is oriented towards the principle of a holistic view of the family and its environment in order to find sustainable solutions to conflicts. Confidentiality and, if desired, anonymity are a matter of course. The center sees itself not as a judge, but as a supportive companion for the prevention of violence and the reduction of its consequences[1][5].
The offer is divided into a total of seven work areas that are geared towards specialized needs and complex requirements in child protection. These are supplemented by targeted projects and group offers. The work is predominantly funded by regular funding and continuously adapted to new problem situations, with a focus on prevention, intervention and the promotion of child welfare[1].
Sustainability goals at the Kinderschutz-Zentrum Stuttgart are closely linked to social sustainability: By promoting a non-violent family environment and supporting children in difficult life situations, the center contributes to long-term social stability and equal opportunities. Likewise, project-oriented approaches are used to address and process new problem situations, which ensures the adaptability and sustainability of the work. Financial support through donations is essential to enable innovative projects and the further development of the offers[5][6][7].
The foundation model is supported by the Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart, Caritasverband Stuttgart, Evangelischer Gesellschaft Stuttgart as well as other social actors, who together ensure a competent and reliable advisory infrastructure. Through this strong network, the Kinderschutz-Zentrum Stuttgart is an important player in regional child protection and a role model in child and youth work[1][2].
