Guidance for Professionals: Initial Support and Ongoing Assistance
In the heart of Augsburg, a unique network of professionals and institutions named KoKi is making a significant difference in the lives of young families. KoKi, or Kooperationsverbund Kinderschutz in Augsburg, is a collaborative effort aimed at providing structured support to families with children in various aspects, including health, education, and social welfare.
At the core of KoKi's mission is the provision of coordinated professional support and advice on parenting and child development. Early help and prevention services are also offered to identify and address risks in children’s development as early as possible. This proactive approach ensures that families receive the assistance they need when it matters most.
KoKi fosters a strong community network by encouraging collaboration among professionals such as pediatricians, midwives, social workers, and educators. This cooperation ensures comprehensive care for young families. Regular exchange of information and training sessions further equip these professionals with the latest knowledge and skills.
When necessary, KoKi provides referrals and guidance to specialized services. This networked approach ensures that families receive the right help at the right time. KoKi's services are always voluntary, free of charge, and non-controlling, ensuring that families can access support without fear or obligation.
Low-threshold access is provided through Open KoKi cafés and group offers in the social space. A family consultation hour is offered in a pediatric practice, making it easier for families to access expert advice. The organization also publishes a regular newsletter, providing useful information from KoKi and the Early Help network.
KoKi's services extend to relieving and practical aid offers, and family navigators are available at birth clinics to guide families through the early stages of parenthood. The organization also facilitates professional exchange among actors in the fields of health, youth welfare, and counseling services in Augsburg.
