About albatros social
albatros direkt is the online counseling service offered by albatros social.
albatros social is a network of organizations dedicated to promoting social participation for people in Berlin and beyond. Its origins lie in the self-help movement of the 1970s. Since its founding in 1984, the network has continuously evolved and supports people in various life situations on their path toward greater self-determination.
Within albatros social, several non-profit organizations and institutions work together, pooling their services under a common brand. These include, among others:
- Albatros e.V.
- Albatros gemeinnützige Gesellschaft für soziale und gesundheitliche Dienstleistungen mbH
- Albatros-Lebensnetz gGmbH
- Albatros Barrierefrei Leben gGmbH
- Albatros Gesundheit und Pflege gGmbH
- Albatros mvz & rpk gGmbH
Together, interdisciplinary teams develop services and projects in the areas of health, social services, housing, employment, and community. The goal is to provide low-threshold support to people in difficult life situations and to create sustainable structures for social participation.
These include, among other things:
- Counseling and support services during psychosocial crises
- Assistance for people with mental health challenges
- Services for women, families, children, and adolescents
- Support for people in precarious living situations, e.g., homelessness
- Projects for migrants and refugees
- Training and educational programs
- Self-help and neighborhood outreach
The work of albatros social is characterized by a resource-oriented approach. People are supported in strengthening their own abilities, developing individual solutions, and leading self-determined lives. Social networks, the neighborhood, and intercultural perspectives also play an important role in this.

TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
For the technical implementation of our video-supported online counseling we use a solution from Pegasus GmbH Gesellschaft für soziale/gesundheitliche Innovation.
Our partner implements this solution on the basis of open-source technologies and can therefore offer us a secure and stable system.
