Help for the homeless: insight into the Café Platform in Aachen

The "Café Plattform" in Aachen is an important point of contact for addicts and homeless people. This facility of Caritas Aachen offers support from experienced social workers inside and street worker inside, who take care of the needs of their clients intensively. In an insightful conversation, Lorena Worms, team leader for women -specific offers, and Laurids Elsing, coordinator of the emergency sleep, describe their approaches to talk to the people on the street.

Moderator Sascha Schunk accompanies the street workers in their daily work and learns the moving story of Anna, an addicted woman whose identity has been changed for data protection reasons. Such insights illustrate the challenges and the valuable work that is done in this social institution. Further information is at www.nrwision.de Available.
