Home& Beyond
Peer to peer migrant women empowerment
Home and Beyond eV is an association of migrant women with different backgrounds.
We have been around since 2021. (officially registered August 2022)
WHAT DO WE DO?
Through workshops and consultations we can discuss various topics with women such as:
-
A Fulfilling Life: The Importance of Being Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally Healthy.
-
Challenges of raising a child in 2 cultures:
Identity Crisis, Culture Clash, Family Values & Single Parents. -
Self-care: self-confidence & mindfulness, self-image and own limits.
-
Personal competence: communication, coping strategies and interpersonal skills.
-
Violence Prevention: Definition, Awareness, Types and Consequences.
We also offer intercultural, psychosocial group care and individual counselling. The consultation can take place after the workshop or on another day. What is special about Home & Beyond is the work of migrants with other migrants. We offer workshops and advice in our mother tongue, building trust with women without treating them in a derogatory way. We act as a bridge between the migrant women and the health system. We help women to access the health system and information. And we help the women find a way to deal with and overcome the stress that a new life here brings with it.
So far we have offered workshops and consultations in various accommodations in Berlin and Brandenburg, also in the language café and at partner organizations.
Our main partner is Interkular gGmbH in Berlin and the Falkensee Welcome Initiative in Falkensee.
The languages we offer are German, English, Arabic, Somali, Farsi, FrFrench and Wolof.
We see you and we are here for you
