Welche Tätigkeiten übt eine Sozialbegleiterin aus?
What activities does a social companion carry out?
A social companion with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education supports people in coping with everyday life in their own home. Social support is therefore outreach-based and designed for longer-term support, both with individuals and with families or groups. Social companions support their clients in coping with everyday life, organizing leisure activities and social gatherings, whereby the client's self-determination is always paramount. Social companions pay attention to the needs of the people they accompany, encourage them in their contact with others and in recognizing and using their own resources. As they work on behalf of others, they must be involved in the planning, documentation and evaluation of their work and, if necessary, involve other professionals.
