SkF Patenschaften für Kinder psychisch erkrankter Eltern

Parents with a mental illness also only want the best for their children. In stable times, they manage to do this, but in acute phases of illness, they are often unable to keep an eye on their children's needs and provide them with adequate care.
Children whose parents are mentally ill are in particular need of a stabilizing social network. To relieve themselves. To be able to be a child.

Traditionally, volunteers and full-time staff work together as partners. SkF Munich currently employs around 270 volunteers and around 400 full-time employees in over 30 different specialist services, facilities, measures and projects.
