Our group offerings
Living cafe
Through exchange and mutual support parents and youngsters with impairment develop self-determined, individual and alternative living opportunities. New forms of living have to match the demands and needs of the young people. The group assembles regularly in common recreational activities and topical discussions. At present the topic of ’sexuality and impairment’ is issued in separate events for parents and youngsters with learning disabilities.
The intention is to create precise living opportunities in the shape of a flat-share or a housing project, where people with and without impairment can live together. The group is open to all those interested.

Both families with children with and without impairment / diagnosis are invited and welcome to join our group.

Youth group
Youngsters and young adults with impairment meet once or twice a month for exchange, to plan activities and to realize own ideas. Actual circumstances of the participants, their growing-up and individual interests are subjects to the group.
Getting into contact and into exchange within the peer is of vital importance to self-esteem in adolescence, especially to youngsters with an impairment. The self directed contents of learning and pastime activities are planned and realized under the patronage of a social worker. The group experience is directed to help the youths in developing autonomy and an independent scheme of life.
Simultaneously the group provides solid information about education, profession, living accommodation, sexuality and impairment.
Time and place: alternating and by agreement (about twice a month)
