Stepped Care+
Stepped care means care according to a step-by-step concept: The first step involves low-threshold counseling services provided by TAFF counselors as well as group measures. If necessary, other counseling or specialist services are involved. In the following stages, clients with increased needs are referred to outpatient therapy or a clinic. The intensity of the services therefore varies depending on the client's needs. Not all mentally distressed refugees need traditional individual therapy; other low-threshold forms of support/relief are often "sufficient".
Individual counseling
Our employees are the first point of contact for refugees with mental health problems. They clarify the need for treatment and then decide how to proceed. In many cases, the low-threshold individual counselling and stabilization provided by TAFF counsellors helps clients to feel better.The dovetailing of individual counseling and networking
This individual counseling is only supplemented by low-threshold group services or a link to other counseling institutions if there is a further need. In line with the stepped care approach, counseling or treatment now takes place at the next level. This is where networking and the involvement of network partners becomes increasingly important.
