Rehabilitative work activities can, at their best, serve as a pathway to employment or studies. Various daily tasks enable exploration of different fields.
Join us, and together we'll plan a pathway that suits your life
For all participants in work activities, an assessment of their life situation and work capacity (and skills) is conducted, and an action and goal plan is drawn up. The plan outlines the individual’s rehabilitation pathway as a whole. The implementation of the plan is regularly monitored, and it is adjusted and refined as needed.
The content of the work activities is tailored to the individual’s work and functional capacity. The need for changes to the individual work plan is continuously monitored according to the client’s functional capacity, goals, and preferences. The work tasks are customized individually. The main goal is vocational rehabilitation and planning for possible further pathways.
Work activities provide structure to everyday life
Work activities support individuals in finding ways to improve their daily lives and self-management. Work activities create a regular daily rhythm and support sobriety.
Rehabilitative work activities consist of various elements that are tailored to meet the needs of each participant. Each client has their own personal counselor with whom the program is developed. The content of the program largely revolves around actual work tasks. This is supplemented by individual and group counseling, peer support, and various activities. Everyone participating in rehabilitative work activities also has the opportunity to have individual discussions with their counselor and to participate in groups organized at the Anchor.
Introductory visits are possible!
Participants enter rehabilitative work activities in periods of at least 3 months. The work hours are 4-6 hours per day, 1-4 days per week. Work activities take place from 9 am to 3 pm.

Through creative and motivating studies, a new opportunity arises
What? Learning by completing parts of vocational qualifications through practical experience, rehabilitation work activities, work trials, or supported employment.
How? Learning takes place in a practical and holistic manner with comprehensive life skills support.
Where? It’s not a separate project but a bonus card for work activities aimed at integrating into the normal operations of Samaria units.
The acquired skills are assessed through demonstrations, after which a certificate of completion for the respective qualification part or the entire qualification is awarded.
There are no separate application periods; participation is ongoing based on availability. The training program is tailored individually according to the ‘buffet’ principle.
