Jugendhilfeeinrichtung Leuchtturm

Leuchtturm is a child and youth welfare provider based in Wachtberg near Bonn, offering support to children, teenagers, young adults and their families under Germany’s Social Code Book VIII. Guided by the image of a lighthouse, the organization aims to provide direction, security and dependable support while helping each person develop or regain greater independence.

Its services include residential care in small, co-educational group homes, with both standard and intensive support options, including one-to-one settings. Leuchtturm also offers supported living for young adults and works toward a lasting perspective, greater independence or a return to family life, depending on each person’s needs. The organization collaborates with youth welfare offices, families, therapists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, schools and clubs to support emotional, social, cognitive and motor development. Help is tailored to individual circumstances, including complex life histories, and is planned with the young person and other participants through regular support-plan meetings. Leuchtturm also welcomes families to learn about its homes and offers opportunities for trial stays.
