Support right from the start - to ensure a good start at Life

For a diverse world worth living in

Lebenshilfe Verden offers a comprehensive range of services for children from infancy to adulthood. This includes early intervention, daycare centers, after-school care, school assistance and a wide range of counseling and support options for children with and without disabilities.

Our Likedeel school provides primary and secondary education, while the final year prepares students for adult life.

The open support services support various areas of life, such as everyday or leisure activities as well as daycare, school or university attendance.

Helen von Lührte - founder and visionary

Lebenshilfe Verden was founded in 1963 by Helen von Lührte and others - on her green living room sofa in Verden. Helen von Lührte was herself the mother of an affected child and experienced how people with disabilities were treated under National Socialism.

Her vision: All people are equal and all people deserve a good Life.  

Helen von Lührte passed away at the age of 94. Shortly before her death, a documentary was filmed in which she herself has her say. The green sofa from back then was still in her living room - Lebenshilfe has grown considerably in all this time and has achieved a great deal.

The film can be viewed on the homepage.

Helen von Lürthe - active until the end

Lebenshilfe Verden builds on strong values and genuine cooperation. All employees can play an active role and develop their potential. We support families right from the start and work on an equal footing with people with and without disabilities. That is what we are committed to!

Kirk Chamberlain, Board of Directors

The vision is called inclusion

Realizing the dream of an inclusive society together

Lebenshilfe sees itself as one of the driving forces for inclusion in the district. The focus is always on people with their individual and unique needs.

In schools and daycare centers, children with and without disabilities are able to come together, and shared, inclusive experiences are a matter of course. The vision is the realization of a fully inclusive society.

The social media channels of Lebenshilfe Verden provide insights into everyday life.

An association with its finger on the pulse - join in!

The origins of Lebenshilfe Verden lie in a parents' association - and this basic idea has remained intact to this day. At the same time, Lebenshilfe has always kept its finger on the pulse of the times and has never missed out on modern developments.  

A lot has happened in society and there have been many steps towards inclusion. At the same time, there is still a lot to do.

Anyone can make a personal contribution by becoming a member of the association, regardless of whether they are affected, a relative or simply a friend of the central cause. A deliberately low annual membership fee ensures that everyone can participate, and no one should be excluded for financial reasons.

Lebenshilfe Verden - the perfect job for you?

Are you looking for a varied job in the social sector, are you committed, have heart and diversity is important to you? Then Lebenshilfe could be the right place for you. Our jobs are as varied as you are!
