In this short film you will find all the important information about the Early Support services.
“KeKs” (Kommunikation erleichtern, Kooperation stärken – facilitating communication, strengthening cooperation) is the joint project of the City of Freiburg and the districts of Emmendingen and Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald.
Its focus is the cooperation between maternity hospitals and the Early Support networks in the Freiburg region.
To accompany young parents and families as they start their family life, KeKs offers Early Support services directly in the six cooperating maternity hospitals.
- Evangelisches Diakoniekrankenhaus Freiburg
- Kreiskrankenhaus Emmendingen
- HELIOS-Klinik Titisee Neustadt
- St. Josefskrankenhaus Freiburg
- Universitätsfrauenklinik Freiburg
In the hospital, parents are informed by hospital staff about the support offered by the Early Support services. If you wish, you can then contact the Early Support specialist service via an online form. A specialist will then get in touch with you promptly by telephone or e-mail to provide further advice.
The following Early Support specialist services are responsible for the respective local authorities:
| Specialist group “Baby im Blick” |
| Frühe Hilfen (Early Support) |
| Kompetenzzentrum Frühe Hilfen (Early Support Competence Centre) |
- questions about the baby’s development, care and feeding
- uncertainties and stress after the birth
- referral to other support services, e.g. in the case of financial problems
- difficult life situations (e.g. separation, isolation)
- questions about dealing with public authorities (also with an interpreter)
- arranging practical help to ease everyday life
- free of charge
- voluntary
- anonymous if you wish
- confidential – we are bound by professional confidentiality
