Transit home Im Vogelsang

The Im Vogelsang transit home offers 24 places for children and young people around the clock, 365 days a year. The three residential groups each care for eight children who are temporarily unable to live with their families of origin.

There is also an internal school (socio-educational day structure) with 8 places.

Crisis intervention and clarification

The Im Vogelsang transit home offers support with clarification orders (BEO) and/or crisis interventions 365 days a year, around the clock. The stay serves to calm the situation and provides a framework for structured, socio-pedagogical clarification.

Order

Our main mission is to support the child and his or her family in crisis situations, involving the relevant people from the environment and the involved specialized agencies.
The offer includes various forms of assignment adapted to the respective circumstances, such as crisis intervention, bridging or pedagogical clarification. Depending on the type of assignment, the length of stay varies from one day to a maximum of one year, usually until the follow-up solution is ready. There is a cooperation agreement with the child and adolescent psychiatric clinic (UPKKJ BS).

During their stay, the children and adolescents in care continue to attend their previous school if possible. If necessary, an internal school with 8 places (socio-pedagogical day structure) is available for the 1st to 6th grade. In cooperation with the families as well as the help system, decision bases and recommendations for the further procedure are derived, implemented and transparently documented.

We offer emergency accommodation for the canton of BS and act as a triage point for the offer of emergency beds (cantons BS/BL).

Our pedagogical concept serves as the basis for our work.
