Financing of pregnant advice in Neuruppin secured by the end of the year!

In Neuruppin there is a ray of hope for pregnant women: the financial support for the local advice center is secured by the end of the year. Wolfgang Neises-Trerbst, head of the Youth Work Initiative Neuruppin (IJN), received the good news from the country. This security is just right, because by the end of June there was ambiguity about the financing after the Potsdam state parliament passed the budget for 2023. Advice in Neuruppin is a real point of contact for women; Around 400 of them use the advisory service every year. Daily, two to three pregnant women trust the consultants who discuss important topics related to pregnancy and family.

The pregnancy advice under the roof of the IJN is not only a source of information, but also offers support in many situations. From applying for foundation funds for the Babyerstaufaitung to the imparting of help such as midwives or socio -pedagogical family help - the advice center has a lot to offer. In addition, expectant mothers are well advised on legal questions about parental allowance or child benefit. As IJN , women who have decided on an abortion can count on experienced advice. Without prior help by a counseling center, doctors are not allowed to break off.

financing and security concerns

Although the financial basis for 2023 is now secured, the situation in other regions remains tense. While the advice in Neuruppin is currently stable, other pregnancy advice centers in cities such as Strausberg, Bernau and Oranienburg are threatened with closures if the financing is not ensured. This information provides rbb24 indicate. The legally prescribed advisory structure stipulates that a full -time advisor should be responsible for 40,000 inhabitants. According to the league, the need is significantly higher than the offer - skilled workers and corresponding positions are missing.

For a comprehensive quality of care in Brandenburg, the advice centers need financial increasing of 1.6 million euros in the current budget. The current amount of 5.3 million euros is, but the challenges are growing, especially in view of increasing wages and requirements. The Brandenburg Minister of Social Affairs Britta Müller also emphasized that the care not only has to be preserved, but even improved.

The IJN in Neuruppin has had an important place in health care since the 1990s, and their employees do valuable work to help pregnant women in these crucial phases of life. The fact that this advice center offers an indispensable foundation for many women is also evident from the confidentiality that is granted there. Anonymous advice and the possibility of receiving support in the familiar framework create a safe environment where worries and hopes can be found.

It remains questionable whether the financing will continue to be secured in the coming year. So far, the country has already planned 5.5 million euros for 2024, which gives hope. It is important to set the course correctly so that the important consultations can remain in the future and offer women the support they need.
