The
Psychiatrische Hilfsgemeinschaft Duisburg gGmbH
Since 1980, PHG Duisburg has supported people with mental illnesses and their relatives and is committed to their social integration into family and society. With a professional, respectful approach, the company promotes the independence of those affected through tailor-made support services - from non-binding contact points to long-term advice and support[1][2].
Key Offers
The range of services includes low-threshold contact opportunities, crisis interventions and individualized support that takes into account cultural, religious and national backgrounds[2]. A special focus is on helping children of mentally ill parents, with resource-oriented approaches and social space-oriented networking at the center[5].
Mission & Values
The PHG sees itself as a reliable point of contact for people who find little support elsewhere. The basis is a humanistic image of man with the aim of "helping people to help themselves". The employees not only offer professional expertise, but also security and support in difficult phases of life[2][5].
Structural Change & Quality Assurance
From a grassroots democratic association of the social psychiatry movement, the PHG has developed into a modern social enterprise that actively addresses the challenges of the European psychiatric landscape - such as economization pressure and quality management[2]. Through continuous professional dialogue and cooperative networking with other organizations, the organization ensures needs-based care[2][4].
Future Orientation
The work aims to create protected spaces in which those affected can train and maintain their independence - be it through everyday support, advice or integration into local community structures[2][5]. The welfare of the child always remains a priority, supported by specialized professionals[5].
PHG Duisburg combines four decades of experience with modern, life-world-oriented concepts to enable people with mental illnesses to live a dignified life in their home community.
