About wellcome Helmstedt - Praktische Hilfe nach der Geburt
Target group(s)
wellcome - practical help after the birth is an offer for all families in the first year of life after the birth of a child who feel subjectively in need of help (e.g. exhaustion after the birth) or are under particular strain (e.g. due to multiple births, premature babies, separation). The help is unbureaucratic, low-threshold and independent of income, social context or medical indication.
Founding year
2022
Funding
wellcome is largely financed by donations.
Objectives
wellcome - practical help after the birth is a response to social developments such as demographic change and the increased mobility of young families. The service closes a gap in primary preventative care. The aim is to take preventative action together with early help and social and health care providers (midwives, maternity clinics, paediatricians, child and youth welfare facilities, etc.).
Your support helps
Young parents with a good start to family life. As a wellcome volunteer, you help in a very concrete way: a walk with the baby, playing with the sibling or accompanying the mother or father to the pediatrician. And it's very flexible: you meet the family once or twice a week for 2 - 3 hours for 3 - 4 months. Then the next family is already looking forward to it. No special qualifications are necessary, as you will be well supported by your team coordinator.
