For assigning bodies
We currently only accept placement requests from referring specialized agencies from Basel-Stadt and Baselland.
All of our employees with degrees in social pedagogy or comparable and several years of professional experience accompany more than 200 selected, trained foster families in Northwestern Switzerland who are recognized by the cantonal specialized agencies.Â
Our pool of available placements in foster families is regularly updated and, due to a large variety of families, enables us to provide a targeted and professionally justified fit when placement requests are made.
You will receive anonymized portraits of the foster family in order to involve the parents of the foster child in the decision-making process before a concrete get-to-know meeting is arranged. We coordinate the placement process incl. get-to-know meeting until the concrete entry of a foster child.
If immediate crisis intervention is indicated, you will receive the contact details of a free foster family so that you can directly enter the foster family. We also advise referring specialists on the question of whether placement in a foster family or in an inpatient facility is indicated.
