City of Wolfsburg seeks sponsors for children of mentally ill parents
Reliable and long-term relationships are particularly important for children of mentally ill parents. The city of Wolfsburg is therefore looking for people who would like to volunteer in this area. In order to prepare mentors for their role at an early stage, the Health division is once again holding training courses in the fall.
Among other things, the training will cover clinical pictures and their effects on children's development. Possible abnormalities and how to deal with them are discussed using case studies. The training courses will take place on October 21 and 28 and on November 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. on the premises of the public health department (Rosenweg 1a, 38440, Wolfsburg). Registration for the training is required by October 13 by telephone (05362282040) or email(spv@stadt.wolfsburg.de).
There is also a regular meeting for sponsors every six to eight weeks. Participants find the lively exchange of experiences very helpful. This is accompanied by staff from the social psychiatric service.
