Training for the self-help contact point on 26 September
Animal strength in the team for self-help groups: This is the motto of a free training course organised by the Waldeck-Frankenberg self-help contact point on 26 September 2025. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the contact point invites you to Willingen-Usseln to the animal-assisted occupational therapy centre "VertrauTier" (Mittelstr. 12 B). The staff would be delighted to welcome a large number of self-help activists and people interested in self-help.
The occupational therapy centre in Willingen-Usseln offers profound and sustainable team-building formats for adults. Through the targeted use of animals such as horses, ponies, sheep, rabbits or dogs, new experiential spaces are created in which teams meet on a completely new level. The animal-assisted methods not only serve to loosen up, but also focus specifically on communication, leadership, conflict resolution, trust, agreements and finding roles.
The experience gained on 26 September should help participants to create the conditions for good teamwork in a self-help group, to better assess living beings in everyday life and to minimise communication problems, especially with other people. The number of participants is limited, so registration is required. You can register by 22 September 2025 by calling 05631 954-1888 or by email . Further questions about the training or about self-help in general can also be answered using these contact details.
