Crisis intervention and clarification

The Im Vogelsang transit home offers 24 places for children and young people 365 days a year, around the clock. In each of the three residential groups, eight children are cared for who are temporarily unable to live with their family of origin. In addition, there is an internal school (socio-pedagogical day structure) with 8 places. The transit home Im Vogelsang offers support for clarification orders (BEO) and/or crisis intervention 365 days a year, around the clock. The stay serves to calm the situation and provides the framework for a structured, socio-pedagogical clarification.

Order

Our main mission is to support the child and his or her family in crisis situations, involving the relevant people from the environment and the involved specialized agencies.
The offer includes various forms of assignment adapted to the respective circumstances, such as crisis intervention, bridging or pedagogical clarification. Depending on the type of assignment, the length of stay varies from one day to a maximum of one year, usually until the follow-up solution is ready. There is a cooperation agreement with the child and adolescent psychiatric clinic (UPKKJ BS).

During their stay, the children and adolescents in care continue to attend their previous school if possible. If necessary, an internal school with 8 places (socio-pedagogical day structure) is available for the 1st to 6th grade. In cooperation with the families as well as the help system, decision bases and recommendations for the further procedure are derived, implemented and transparently documented.

We offer emergency accommodation for the canton of BS and act as a triage point for the offer of emergency beds (cantons BS/BL).

Our pedagogical concept serves as the basis for our work.
