Crisis residential group Moosburg

Acutely endangered children from families in crisis situations must be able to be placed outside the family quickly, professionally and lovingly for their protection. Reasons for a crisis admission** **may be any event in the home system that does not sufficiently guarantee the protective and educational functions that are in the best interests of the child:

• Endangerment due to imminent or actual physical and/or psychological abuse and/or sexual abuse

• neglect of the child by the legal guardians or

• events that make it temporarily impossible for the child to remain in the family (illness, imprisonment, acute family crises, etc.).

Special features of the Barbakus residential group are the intensive care in a small group and the close cooperation with the youth welfare office, the Hermann-Gmeiner Center (with child and adolescent psychiatry, psychology, speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy) and the parents.
