Prevention counseling

The CNAPA Prevention Counseling is a pro­fes­sion­al service that supports pol­i­cy­mak­ers, pro­fes­sion­als, insti­tu­tions, businesses, and communities in preventing health, social, or psy­cho­log­i­cal problems at an early stage. The goal is to identify risks before they manifest and to develop strategies that strengthen protective factors.

Our prevention counseling is oriented towards the respective living envi­ron­ments of the target groups, incor­po­rates individual, social, and structural aspects, and takes into account inter­na­tion­al­ly recognized findings on the effec­tive­ness of measures. The CNAPA Prevention Counseling can be both informative and action-oriented, ranging from education and training to the joint development of long-term prevention strategies.

Prevention Counseling in Childhood and Youth

Early prevention in childhood and adolescence is par­tic­u­lar­ly effective, as this is where the foundations for a healthy life are laid. Prevention counseling supports families, schools, and educational and psy­cho­log­i­cal pro­fes­sion­als in strength­en­ing children and adolescents in their development, identifying problematic behaviors early, and coun­ter­act­ing harmful influences such as violence, addiction, or bullying.

Prevention Counseling in Workplaces

In the work context, prevention counseling aims to promote the health of employees and reduce absences due to illness and workplace accidents. Topics such as mental health, the prevention of psy­choso­cial risks, and addiction prevention are the focus. Internal prevention concepts can be developed and implemented in col­lab­o­ra­tion with pro­fes­sion­als, managers, and employees.

Prevention Counseling in Communities

At the municipal level, prevention counseling helps to create health-promoting living conditions. It connects actors from education, health, social work, and politics and develops measures with them that are tailored to the needs of the local population. The goal is to establish prevention as a permanent component of municipal structures.
