AETAS CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION

Moving Child supports the AETAS Children’s Foundation the child crisis intervention since 2021

The AETAS Children’s Foundation was founded by the Munich-based funeral home AETAS Lebens- und Trauerkultur and has set itself the goal of caring for children and young people after a drastic, traumatic event. It provides professional child crisis intervention and its work, which is unique in Germany to date, goes far beyond initial care. Children between the ages of 0 and 17, as well as their caregivers, can take advantage of the services offered by the AETAS Children’s Foundation. The AETAS Children’s Foundation offers acute counseling (shortly after the incident), regular counseling (up to 1 year after the incident) and group activities (such as climbing, creative weekends, light festivals).

The AETAS Children’s Foundation is unique in that it bridges the gap between initial care (emergency care) and the care that may be required in the event of illness as a result of the trauma. The AETAS Children’s Foundation therefore provides preventative care and advice if no “illness” has (yet) been diagnosed, but a traumatic event has occurred, even over a longer period of time.

Moving Child supports the ATEAS Children’s Foundation with funding for a staff position and for help, guidance and resources for children in crisis.
