The Associacion
If a child is born too early or seriously ill, if an accident or a serious, chronic illness change the life effectively, the shock for the family is very large. The BUNTER KREIS in the region Aachen, a registered association offers socialmedical aftercare in the city and the region of Aachen, Germany, to families of seriously ill or handicapped children with chronic desease or cancer. It accompanies the families in the frequently very difficult transition of the stationary treatment on the way home. Already in the hospital an employee of the BUNTER KREIS contacts the family. Afterwards, she visits them at home and helps with advise by phone as well. She supports and accompanies the family and provides an optimal network with physicians, therapists and other health offers. Beyond that she assists with official affairs. The fact to know not to be alone and to have the possibility getting questions answered at any time helps parents to process the shock and manage to deal with the new task of life. It feels so good to be able to talk of the fears and concerns. The pediatric nurses of the BUNTER KREIS are also trained as case manager. Not only the individual needs of the ill child is in the focus but also its whole family.
The BUNTE KREIS is a country wide active association, which is represented with 50 organizations in Germany, 4 of it in North Rhine-Westphalia.
