Perspektive e.V. is a non-profit association based in Detmold, which has specialized in supporting socially disadvantaged children, adolescents, young adults and families since 2006. The central concern of Perspektive e.V. is to support these target groups through tailor-made, goal- and solution-oriented and humane support in particularly challenging life situations and to open up new life perspectives for them[1][2].
The association offers both outpatient and inpatient support services. A particular focus is on the inpatient mother/father-child facility "Lebens-Perspektive", which specifically supports families with special care needs[1]. Perspektive e.V. works closely with youth welfare offices and other social institutions to ensure trusting and successful care. To date, the association has provided pedagogical support and qualification to over 3,500 clients in various phases of their lives[1].
The main mission of Perspektive e.V. is to empower clients to shape their life situation independently and autonomously. The association pursues a systemic and resource-oriented approach that takes into account the entire social environment - especially family systems. Through the application of systemic methods, individual needs and resources are addressed in order to develop sustainable solutions together[2].
In addition to classic child and youth welfare, Perspektive e.V. is also involved in youth employment assistance and integration work. Job seekers are accompanied through orientation, motivation and skills development in order to enable (re)integration into training or work. These measures support the strengthening of personality and promote independent action[2].
Werte und Nachhaltigkeit (Values and Sustainability) are at the center of Perspektive e.V.: The association cultivates an appreciative, respectful interaction with all people, regardless of origin, religion or worldview. The work is based on an ethical attitude, which is supported by social responsibility and economic sustainability. The management of the facility is based on business management principles to ensure long-term stability and quality of services[2].
Additional offers such as pedagogical vacation programs, which combine fun and support, complement the holistic range of assistance[1].
Overall, Perspektive e.V. is characterized by its versatile, flexible and targeted support formats, which create life-changing opportunities for socially disadvantaged people and thereby make a sustainable contribution to social integration and individual development.
