AWO Darmstadt emphasizes the importance of integrated networks on German Hospice Day
On the occasion of German Hospice Day on October 14, 2025, AWO Darmstadt highlights the central role of children's hospices in Darmstadt . These facilities provide seriously ill children and their families – medically, psychologically, and emotionally. They work closely with schools, hospitals, early intervention centers, volunteers, and other stakeholders to offer families the best possible support in crisis situations.
Help for families in exceptional situations
When a child becomes seriously ill, parents, siblings, and relatives often find themselves overwhelmed. Children's hospices offer quick and loving support , allowing families to focus their energy on what matters most – spending time with their sick child.
The combination of counseling, support, and social cohesion gives families strength and security. A particular strength lies in the volunteer work , which builds trust and further enhances the quality of support.
Networks and future prospects
AWO Darmstadt are linked to the structures of children's hospice care . These networks enable social, educational, and medical support to be integrated.
Key future issues remain financing , the recruitment of skilled personnel , and the expansion of integrated networks between daycare centers, school social work, hospices, and clinics .
The aim, according to AWO Darmstadt, is to ensure dignity, self-determination and relief from early education to palliative care .
