ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

VISION
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are passionately committed to enhancing psychosocial care, with a focus on peer support. We firmly believe that individuals who have shared similar challenges and experiences are uniquely positioned to support each other in profound and meaningful ways. Through mutual support, we foster a journey of growth and empowerment, rooted in empathy, understanding, and shared growth.<\/p>\n

Our vision is to create sanctuaries where individuals facing challenging experiences can find refuge from the psychiatric system, empower each other, and regain control of their lives. We create a space where individual experiences \u2013 even the most extraordinary and challenging states \u2013 can be expressed and understood.<\/p>\n

The activities we initiate are diverse and revolve around creative expressions, including writing, singing, theater, reading circles, arts and crafts, film, photo, and music production, movie screenings, communal music making, language courses, cooking events, and much more.<\/p>\n

Organizational Name Change<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the end of 2022, we decided to move away from our previous name warmherzige Besch\u00fctzer (Warm-hearted Protectors), as it did not explicitly reflect what is central to us. After careful consideration and team discussion, we launched RECASAS, an acronym that expresses the core elements of our organizational culture and our commitment to the community.<\/p>\n

R<\/strong> – Resilience and Resource Orientation: We strengthen individual abilities and resources for better crisis management and a more resilient future.<\/p>\n

E<\/strong> – Empowerment: We empower our participants to articulate their desires and needs and actively participate in shaping our offerings to promote a sense of personal responsibility and participation.<\/p>\n

C<\/strong> – We create a safe space that fosters community and inclusion. This place encourages exchange and support to counteract isolation and stigmatization.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong> – Art and Academy: We promote the free arts as a means of identity formation and social participation. Creative expressions enable participants to tell their stories and strengthen their mental health.<\/p>\n

S<\/strong> \u2013 Safety and Security: In an environment characterized by respect and appreciation, we provide protection and security. Nonviolent communication and appreciative behavior are fundamental principles to us.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong> – Acceptance: We create conditions of acceptance and tolerance where each individual is welcomed and valued for their uniqueness, promoting respectful and inclusive interaction.<\/p>\n

S<\/strong> \u2013 Self-determination and Self-help: We support self-determination and self-help, encouraging individuals to make their own decisions and actively participate in overcoming their challenges.<\/p>\n

With RECASAS, we present a dynamic, inclusive, and people-centered organizational culture aimed at promoting and protecting the dignity, well-being, and potentials of each individual. We are confident that this new name better represents our values and commitment and lays the foundation for our continued efforts to positively impact the lives of the people we serve.<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVES
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Preventive Support:<\/strong> Providing a safe haven for individuals who can\u2019t find support or are not looking for traditional therapeutic treatment. Daily support to assist people through tough times and avoid invasive, life-altering hospital stays. Assistance for those wanting to break the cycle of repeated hospital admissions.<\/li>\n
  2. Suicide Prevention:<\/strong> Implementing a \u201cliving room\u201d concept where participants can drop by daily and connect with others who have overcome similar mental challenges.<\/li>\n
  3. Creating Barrier-Free Workplaces:<\/strong> Developing individualized work environments tailored to each person\u2019s specific needs and opening opportunities for volunteer and professional participation. We aim to provide suitable employment opportunities, especially for people who face obstacles in the traditional job market due to their individual challenges. These adaptive and supportive workplaces allow affected individuals to apply their skills and talents in an environment that offers understanding and flexibility. Opening opportunities for volunteer and professional participation to promote integration and self-realization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We are determined to create a space of understanding, acceptance, and positive change. A space that supports individuals in experiencing ongoing healing processes, unfolding their full potential, and living their lives with dignity and self-determination.<\/p>\n

    Satzung\/Gesellschaftsvertrag<\/strong> (similar to <\/span>articles of <\/span>incorporation and bylaws)<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

    The statutes of RECASAS gGmbH are the result of comprehensive considerations and careful planning. They clearly outline our objectives, organizational structure, and principles, setting the framework within which we strive to bring about positive and sustainable changes in our community.

    Guiding Principles<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Our commitment to tolerance and respect is the foundation of our organizational culture. We value the diversity and uniqueness of each individual and are firmly convinced that an inclusive environment promotes innovation and collaboration. We are committed to behavior characterized by courtesy, respect, and appreciation towards all people. We categorically reject intolerant, disrespectful, and discriminatory behavior, especially when based on ethnic origin, skin color, sexual orientation, religion, ideology, against older people, or people with disabilities. Violence has no place in our organization. We neither tolerate physical nor psychological violence and advocate for a working and interaction environment that is safe, supportive, and empowering for all.<\/p>\n

    Our goal is to primarily hire individuals who bring personal experiences with mental crises. We believe that work not only promotes self-esteem and societal recognition but also provides a structured environment for personal growth. In a team where everyone understands the nuances of mental crises, support is more intuitive, empathetic, and responsive as early warning signs are quickly recognized and addressed. This eliminates stigmatization and inhibitions when one needs a day of rest.<\/p>\n

    The RECASAS team does not view emotional and psychosocial challenges as symptoms of a disease or deficit. We see them as signs of an overload of individual coping mechanisms and social support. We understand and appreciate that every behavior, however unusual it may appear, has a specific meaning and function for the affected individual.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
