JugendNotmail gGmbH

Young people often have no contact person for their problems and fears. They are often ashamed of their feelings, afraid of not being understood or rejected. So they keep their worries to themselves, which can become increasingly burdensome over time. On the website www.jugendnotmail.de children and young people have the opportunity to entrust their worries to a professional team of advisors - confidentially, free of charge and where they prefer to be, on the Internet. Around 150 volunteer psychologists and social education workers provide advice on topics such as depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, mobbing or eating disorders. Whether individual counselling, topic chat or forum - JugendNotmail has the right counselling offer for every need.

Objectives

Ziel ist es, den jungen Menschen in seiner jeweiligen Lebenssituation zu stärken und ihm Kompetenzen zu vermitteln, die es ihm ermöglichen, sich selbst Unterstützung zu organisieren und – wenn möglich – von professioneller Hilfe unabhängig zu werden. Die Beratung soll und kann jedoch keine Psychotherapie ersetzen. Wenn innerhalb der Beratung deutlich wird, dass eine Therapie, Behandlung oder Betreuung vor Ort unausweichlich ist, vermitteln unsere Berater*innen an kompetente Beratungsstellen und Einrichtungen. 

Your support helps

to draw attention to the wounded souls of children and young people.
