Assistance with living

Assistance with living (ABW) offers mentally ill people specialist support to enable them to lead an independent life. It also aims to strengthen their right to social participation. The service is aimed at people of legal age with mental disabilities or at risk of mental disabilities who live in their own home.

The aim of our outreach support service is to strengthen personal skills in order to achieve independent living. We follow the approaches of “empowerment” and “helping people to help themselves”.

Our specialists will support you in the following areas:

In the organization of home and household
