The Initiative for Social Rehabilitation e.V. supports people with mental illness, addiction, and cognitive impairment. Through psychosocial and educational support, we empower them to lead self-determined lives and participate in society.
How can I find suitable employment if I have a mental illness? Since 2020, we have been helping with precisely this through "Work in Focus" in Bremen.

We are developing new ways to promote participation in the workforce and are expanding our counseling services in Bremen to achieve this.
