  1. GoJa (GUT DRAUF) = Health-oriented youth work in Cologne Monika Baars, City of Cologne, Office for Children, Youth and Family

  2. Holistic Health Promotion and Addiction Prevention • Professionalisation • Developing standards • Networking • Open youth work • (from over 60 youth facilities = 25 youth facilities) • Selective prevention • Voluntariness • Youth facilities as networking partners in social environments • Over 2,500 children and youth

  3. GoJa/GD as a partially open concept • GUT DRAUF (Feel Good) – Instruction and standard development (3 days‘ training, certificate where necessary) • Move = motivational swift intervention (3 days‘ instruction, certificate) • Moderated networking gatherings (4 x 3 hours annually) • Detailed advanced training on request • Training of work groups • Project autonomisation

  4. Salutogenesis • Protective factors • Focus: Communication • Process orientation

  5. GUT DRAUF as support for the training ofprotective factors • Youth facilities offer the possibility of emotional and social support outside of the family • Youth facilities offer clear rules and structures • Youth facilities mediate an atmosphere of value appreciation • Youth facilities provide a model for active and constructive coping behaviour

  6. GUT DRAUF as a holistic approach (salutogenesis) • GUT DRAUF is implemented in a youth facility as a low-threshhold applied healthy living environment • GUT DRAUF as „door opener“ for change (persuasion and automatism)

  7. Protective Factor Communication • Addressing and motivating youth who are „difficult to reach“ through Move = motivational swift intervention (counselling advanced training) • Leads to acceptance of offers of assistance with the greatest possible protection of autonomy • Combination • Motivational interviewing (Miller and Rollnick) • Trans-theoretical stage method of behavioural change (Prochaska)

  8. Brief Counselling Interviews • Accepting accompaniment of the individual, rather than confrontation • Protection of autonomy instead of exertion of power • Respect and empathy instead of dominating expert knowledge • Clear feedback instead of non-directive openness

  9. Stages of Change – Behavioural change as a flowing process – Setbacks are possible at any time • Unintentionality • Developing purpose (ambivalences) • Preparation (concrete steps) • Action (testing) • Maintenance (persevering)

  10. Process orientation through moderated networking gatherings (accompanied by the University of Applied Sciences at Cologne) • Developing purpose and preparation of „assessments“ of existing health promotion projects • Action and maintenance: Theoretical input and instructional phase as well as certification • Conclusion: • Annual conference • Documentation • Autonomisation of the network (including district youth care) • Further detailed proposals

  11. Thank you for your attention.
