Women's Counseling

Our anniversary celebration was so great!

In glorious weather, familea celebrated its 125th anniversary on June 6 with a large family festival on Münsterplatz. Numerous guests enjoyed a varied program with attractions, stage performances, culinary offerings and many opportunities to meet and chat. The festival made visible what familea has stood for for 125 years: the compatibility of work and family, equal opportunities and integration.

Franz Hofmann attended the Jungstrasse daycare center as a child and is now completing his training there as a childcare specialist. Telebasel has followed his special career.

The familea women's counseling service is part of «EINBLICK BASEL - visiting social institutions»

At the media coffee break at the familea office, media representatives were given an insight into the history, development and anniversary program for familea's 125th birthday.

Everyday life is often characterized by responsibility, deadlines and expectations. This makes it all the more important to consciously take some time out - time just for yourself.

On February 14, 1901, Lily Zellweger-Steiger laid the foundation stone for familea. Over more than a century, her initiative developed into a social organization that accompanies, strengthens and supports children, women and families in Basel and the region.

On Tuesday, December 16, numerous families were able to experience a very special moment. Customers of the women's advice center had the opportunity to choose gifts worth up to 50 francs for their children in advance and order them using a wish card.

At the beginning of summer 2024, a young woman contacted familea Women's Counseling and asked for support in financing her training to become a Wen Do trainer.

To mark International Children's Rights Day, children at our familea locations are designing over 50 creative chairs on their most important rights.
