rehapro - Prevention before rehab and rehab before retirement
With the federal programme "Innovative Ways to Participate in Working Life - rehapro", the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) is implementing the legislator's mandate to promote pilot projects to strengthen rehabilitation (Section 11 SGB IX). The projects are intended to test innovative approaches to supporting people with health impairments and to further improve cooperation between stakeholders in the field of medical and occupational rehabilitation.
BMAS: rehapro - New impetus for rehabilitation
The aim is to strengthen the principle of "prevention before rehabilitation" and "rehabilitation before retirement", to maintain or restore the ability to work and to reduce the number of people entering reduced earning capacity pensions, integration or social assistance. To this end, the Leipzig Job Centre launched the two projects SanusLE and LIPSY was launched. New Our third rehapro project was also added in 2024 "G2 - healthy together"which also allows a family-based approach for the entire community of need.
Our rehapro projects in Leipzig:
New: G2 - healthy together
The project pools the experience and knowledge gained in the previous rehapro projects SanusLE and LIPSY in working with clients with health impairments and extends the focus to the entire community of need or family. Up to now, the focus has primarily been on those entitled to benefits who are able to work, i.e. adults. In the "G2 - healthy together" project, the focus is on support in the overall context of the family.
The focus here is on teaching health skills to all members of the community of need in the sense of "helping people to help themselves". "G2 - healthy together" takes a holistic view of the family and aims to counter health problems through prevention as well as consciously tackling existing difficulties.
At the centre of the project are the health and family support workers (GFB), who act as "carers and guides" for the families. They arrange suitable programmes in the social area and take on the coaching and active support and supervision of the participants. Together with active networking, the project aims to contribute to the long-term stabilisation of the participants.
SanusLE - healthy in Leipzig
The "SanusLE - healthy in Leipzig" project is aimed at people who receive a citizen's allowance and have difficulty accessing the labour market due to health restrictions.
If a person is permanently ill, it is difficult to develop a career perspective. Finding and utilising existing support services is often a decisive hurdle on the path to employment.
The SanusLE project is designed to accompany and support this process. It is primarily aimed at customers who have a confirmed incapacity for work of up to six months. Employees have been trained for the project to act as guides and provide support with applications for medical or occupational rehabilitation, for example.
Customers are offered health, exercise and nutrition programmes. The aim is to provide them with options and resources to positively influence their state of health in the sense of helping them to help themselves. Close support is intended to ensure success and promote the stabilisation of the state of health.
LIPSY - support from a single source
With the Leipzig Individual Placement and Support for People with Mental Illness (LIPSY) project, the Leipzig Job Centre aims to offer people with mental illnesses new prospects.
The aim is to maintain or restore employability by closely interlinking job search and psychological counselling. Trained psychologists from the project partner Helios Parkklinikum Leipzig GmbH offer counselling on the premises of the Leipzig Job Centre.
The aim of the LIPSY project is to help people on income support to lead a healthy and independent life.
