"The 'Thalf-Flimmer' is endorsing 'Turn Point'"
In the heart of the city, a unique service is making a difference for those experiencing a crisis. The Turning Point, a mobile living room crisis service, is offering free support to adults (18 years and older) in need of assistance.
Headed by Petra Hornig, the Turning Point's Head of Deployment, the service values the support from local cultural actors for increased visibility. The openness and accessibility of the Turning Point are appreciated by Mark Rieder and Mark Tykwer, both advocates for the advisory facility's services.
The Turning Point does not impose any restrictions on the counseling it provides. Whether an individual or their relatives are affected by a crisis, the advisory facility's counseling is available. The service aims to prevent follow-up costs by offering preventive crisis interventions.
The Turning Point's work improves the supply situation of those affected by crises, providing relief to social and health systems in the city. The advisory facility's approach is characterized by openness and accessibility, making it easy for anyone seeking support to access the service.
Mark Tykwer praises the low-threshold approach of the Turning Point, while Mark Rieder supports the advisory facility in providing relief and exchange during crises at the appropriate time. The Turning Point's counseling is open to all situations and people, offering support during critical times.
Staff at the Turning Point include certified peer support specialists and program directors who have lived experience and professional backgrounds in recovery and mental health. This enhances the personalized support and referral processes available, connecting adults in crisis to treatment, recovery resources, and ongoing community services.
The Turning Point gains significant benefit from the visibility provided by grants, aiming to expand awareness of their offer with the help of the visibility gained. By deploying a mobile crisis intervention unit that offers on-the-spot free aid, the Turning Point reduces barriers to help, promotes stabilization, and facilitates continued care.
