Specialized Counseling / Therapy / Child Protection (Elisabethheim Havetoft)

In Schleswig-Holstein, the Elisabethheim Havetoft Foundation supports a comprehensive grant program aimed at strengthening educational institutions as well as professional and management teams. The offering includes psychological counseling, systemic therapy, thorough diagnostics, and internal professional consultation for providers, specialists, and teams in residential groups. The goal is sustainable quality development in social and educational structures through practice-oriented support in pedagogical issues, concept development, and team building. Special emphasis is placed on preventive and reactive child protection measures, which include the creation and implementation of protection concepts, complaint management, and sexual education support. Funding applications can be submitted at any time by public institutions, educational organizations, and private individuals.

The program targets children, adolescents, families, as well as educational professionals and management levels seeking independent, quality-enhancing consultation. An interdisciplinary team of psychologists, therapists, and child protection experts provides targeted support for individual developmental issues, team processes, and systemic interventions. The combined expertise focuses on solution-oriented therapeutic approaches and participatory structures: resources are identified and innovative action concepts developed in regular workshops and supervisions. Through ongoing funding, not only acute needs for assistance are met, but also long-term professionalization and further development of educational work are ensured.
