Lebenshilfe has developed as a self -help group and parents' association in 1990 into a central player in the disabled help. With more than 400 people cared for, including people with intellectual and multiple disabilities as well as psychological impairments, it offers a wide range of services. Among them are school accompaniment, outpatient care services and advice centers that all pursue the goal of promoting and reducing the self -determined participation in social life. Measures for accessibility are particularly important in order to enable everyone to live a self -determined life. This is also underlined by Lebenshilfe.de, which indicates that accessibility in local public transport is crucial to ensure mobility for everyone.

diverse offers and historical development

The beginnings of Lebenshilfe return until 1979 with a residential project in Hohenstücken, which has made an enormous difference in the Region. Various offers were created in the following years to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. The Lebenshilfe workshop, which was launched in 1995, also plays a crucial role in the region with its around 230 employees. It belongs to the 28 recognized workshops in Brandenburg and not only offers jobs, but also an inclusive environment in which people with disabilities can actively participate in society.

What makes life aid special is your holistic approach to support. In addition to basic services, leisure design programs are also offered that promote social contacts and enable creative expression. These initiatives are strengthened by numerous cooperation with companies and organizations in order to sustainably promote the participation of people with disabilities. Examples of such partnerships are the longstanding cooperation with the Nuremberg Insurance, which collected over 90,000 euros for Lebenshilfe in 2023, as well as the cooperation with toom hardware store that has existed since 2014.

commitment to inclusion and accessibility

A central goal of Lebenshilfe is the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabilities in Germany. This includes not only the reduction of physical barriers, but also the promotion of social participation and participation. The organization today has many offers that aim to integrate people with disabilities into decision -making processes and to support them in leading a self -determined life. With professional disability assistance and advisory services, legal questions and psychosocial support are offered, which significantly improves the life situation of those affected. These comprehensive services make a significant contribution to the creation of an inclusive environment, as the Stage for Human Rights summarizes

The successful history of life aid is proof that the commitment to the rights of people with disabilities bears fruit. All of this is only possible because many people stand up for a better future - for a society in which everyone can live on an equal footing.
