Psychological counseling center for various peer groups (ped) agogic offers. The current focus is on the development of protection concepts for youth welfare and disabled people's institutions. A peer, i.e. a person who lives in the same or a similar situation, is more likely to be accepted as a consultant. We use this knowledge.

Peer counseling for the addressees of educational work

The rapid change in the observed discourse on the topic of "protection against attacks" arises from the contribution of people who have experienced or are currently experiencing injuries. They have always interfered by actively creating the problems. Unfortunately, they have mostly not been recognized. They have endured being the "problem". You have been identified as a "problem". Specialists had to take care of themselves without usually seeing themselves as a problem. Many experts do not want to see that these motivators for change will not subside. Nowadays, they are experiencing increasing recognition in their lawsuits and protection proposals. Sarah Z. Laouini is one of the Care Leavers. She works as a "Peer Counselor" at the ISBB and there in an intensive reflection process. As a counselor, she meets with the highest acceptance among the victims, as is also proven by current research.

Peer Counseling for Educator. Pipes

Heike Linke was trained as an empower sexual advisor at the ISBB. Now she advises disabled people and their social environment. Through her experience in inpatient child and youth welfare, as well as inpatient assistance for the disabled, she knows the special circumstances that life in pedagogical care entails. As a facility manager, she is not only a peer for managers, but also draws on her experiences in everyday group life. She is happy to advise institutions and teams, especially if they want to open up to sexuality. Individual case and group counseling with mentally handicapped and developmentally delayed people are adapted to the social-emotional age of the participants and non-verbal communication techniques are used. She also advises pupils at special schools on the possibility of social integration measures who have become sexually conspicuous and run the risk of being excluded from everyday school life.

Peer counseling for supervisors

Children and adolescents, whether disabled or not, encounter the system "pedagogical institution" most closely in cooperation with their caregivers. The supervisors are faced with contradicting orders from all sides. In addition, there are your individual wishes to secure your own life. They are at least often (at first) made responsible for the emergence and resolution of crises - especially by the public when the group leaves the walls of the facility. That stresses out! They hardly have time for intensive educational work. Mistakes are not allowed. Sarah L. Wabbel has worked in the "Rauhen Haus" in Hamburg for many years. She has been trained as an empower sex consultant and works as a peer for other educational professionals. She often has the opportunity to advise people during their pedagogical training. Because the training providers are increasingly paying attention to the inclusion of the topic "sexuality" in the curricula.

Peer counseling for sexual counseling

Ute Himmelsbach has been working as a social pedagogue in various social areas in Saarland for over 30 years and also as a massage and body therapist in her own practice for many years. Since 2010 she has been working in the field of sexuality and since then she has also been the contact partner for people with physical, cognitive and psychological impairments in counseling and body work. Training as a sexual companion through ISBB Trebel has strengthened this focus in recent years. With regard to sexual accompaniment, her focus is in particular on a closely networked cooperation with the respective institutions for the assistance of the handicapped, which enables a very individually designed and well-considered support for the addressees. The procedure requires personal commitment from everyone involved and is designed for a longer period. The setting has proven itself particularly well for cognitively impaired people.

Initial consultation as an introduction


Even spines make sense!

Sometimes a little problem is the beginning of a great modernization. Perhaps you currently have such a problem in your facility. That doesn't have to be an attack, maybe aggression, depression, eating disorder, a skin disease or conspicuous speech behavior without a somatic cause? Let Dipl.-Psych. Consult Lothar Sandfort by phone first ...

Sex education treatment for disabled people who need it.


All health insured persons in Germany have the right to medical treatment. However, some are actually denied this right. These are people who need a different form of communication than the usual verbal one: people who are severely speech impaired and cognitively impaired. Your "mother tongue" often consists only of sounds or is predominantly non-verbal. You will not find any counselors or therapists who are willing to change. They also learn best when they behave; the best way to express themselves is by staging. With the qualification and establishment of sexual assistants, the "Institute for the Self-Determination of Disabled People" has put an end to the actual withdrawal of sexual counseling for these target groups. ISBB sexual assistants have learned to adapt to the individual language habits of the person seeking advice. The basis for their understanding is the individual sexual history of the person seeking advice. They learn this story through the individual behavior of the men and women seeking advice in a highly emotional staging.
As usual in experiential education, the sexual companions pose life challenges. This is usually a sexual encounter. Unlike prostitution, they always start from the level of development of the person seeking advice. He is physically mature, but is usually not emotionally, cognitively and / or socially equipped with age-appropriate skills. The goal is never to increase sexual desire in the short time of encounter, but rather personality developments, the culturally compatible integration of sexuality. In contrast to prostitution, it is not orientations towards standardized sexual practices that form the basis of cooperation, but rather time spent learning together. In contrast to prostitution, it is not an illusion that is sold, but rewarded time lived in which both are obliged to see whether the other is doing well. In contrast to prostitution, communication must be honest. Often enough, this does not include pleasurable feedback. If there is a desire during coaching, this is an advantage for learning success.
Sexual guidance in the ISBB is comparable to the methods of experiential education. Like the tree in the high climbing forest, the sexual companions set various challenges as a surrogate. They set opportunities, but also obstacles. They are trained to let the person seeking advice act. They motivate, but also set limits. A vivid sexual history is always sought for the person seeking advice. Abuse in this advisory encounter is not possible because everything that develops requires the non-verbal or verbal mandate of the person seeking advice. Even people who have been traumatized by sexualized violence rarely want to live anymore sexuality. Sooner or later they are grateful for the idea, for the hope that sexuality is possible even in their life experiences. Even perpetrators are more likely to give up hurtful patterns if they are not only forbidden, but shown how legal sexuality is possible for them. Dipl.-Psych. Lothar Sandfort

Training for disabled men: More security against sexual assault April 16 to 19, 2020 No more perpetrators! Men with cognitive impairments are often assaulted out of helplessness. Forensics as a consequence of the act often continues this helpless kit. But pedophile handicapped people are also overwhelming the traditional therapeutic system. With its surrogate therapy, the ISBB is already offering new help to disabled men who have become overwhelming or have only become conspicuous. The seminar is led by Dipl.-Psych.

Concept of this group of men

Special needs for institutions: protection concepts against sexual assault.

Dipl.-Psych. Lothar Sandfort heads the "Institute for Self-Determination of Disabled People" in Trebel / Wendland in Lower Saxony. In this context, as the most prominent offer, he offers a group for disabled men who have become abusive or who are suspected of being abusive. As a unique selling point in the men's group, care is taken to enable men to experience a socially compatible form of sexuality as an alternative. To this end, ISBB sexual assistants are trained and included in the agogical counseling team. Since this group of disabled addressees learns to behave best, this form of non-verbal education shows good results. Many insights from experiential education are processed in the ISBB concept. Working with non-disabled children and adolescents does not need sexual accompaniment. However, this group of addressees is more likely to accept ISBB counseling because it includes the needs for love and sexuality. Very slowly but at least there is a need for institutions and families to seek advice. Unfortunately, usually only when there have been significant attacks. The perpetrators are then presented as "identified patients", but only understood according to a systemic consultation concept. In science - with excellent justification - it is now proposed that institutions for child and youth welfare and for people with disabilities can be recognized for their quality through risk analyzes. The team at this sexual advice center offers such advice. The offer is primarily about counseling those affected by those affected, i.e. peer counseling for all target groups involved.
Offer protection concept

Excerpts from the book "Protection against sexual violence and assault in institutions" by Prof. Dr. J. Fegert Among other things, the aim of a risk or risk analysis is to disclose "where the vulnerable points of an institution are - whether in dealing with proximity and distance, in the construction area or in the hiring process. The risk analysis systematically follows the question Which conditions local perpetrators could use to prepare and commit sexual violence The results of this analysis show which conceptual and structural improvements are necessary in terms of child protection. [...] A risk analysis therefore forms the basis for the further one Development of protective measures Since the risk of [...] "small talk" of risks is very high in a risk analysis exclusively by internal personnel, this should be done with the help of external advice
take place, e.g. B. through a victim or perhaps better offender advice center. […] The aim of situational prevention is therefore to systematically increase the difficulties for the perpetrator and his risk of being discovered. […] To achieve a culture of mindfulness. "Jörg M.

Sex education in schools and other institutions as empowerment


Sex education in schools is traditionally primarily verbal knowledge transfer - media supports. That makes sense, but not enough. Our concept also provides advice to those seeking advice on current sexuality questions. But they often look for answers like this on the Internet. They don't find that embarrassing. Our educational methods bring those interested primarily into contact with themselves. Their sexuality is not described as a place of innumerable dangers, but conveyed as an ability and promise which they can experience as lovable, but which they should also take care of. Appreciate and protect. Sexual competence. Empowerment.
