Rehapro
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 has set up the two projects SanusLE and LIPSY and is the only project organiser in Germany to carry out two projects simultaneously.
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.
