Frauenberatung und Notruf Ostholstein

What Frauenberatung und Notruf Ostholstein does

Frauenberatung und Notruf Ostholstein - Information und Beratung für Frauen und Mädchen e.V. is a non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1989 and headquartered in Eutin, Germany, operating as a state-recognized specialist counseling center (anerkannte Fachberatungsstelle) focused on violence against women and girls. The center serves women and girls aged 14 and older across the Kreis Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein, addressing physical, psychological, and sexual violence, domestic violence, stalking, sexual harassment, and trauma sequelae. It also operates a state-recognized pregnancy conflict counseling service (Schwangerenkonfliktberatungsstelle) under §218/219 StGB at its Neustadt branch, providing sexuality, contraception, family-planning, and prenatal/postnatal support including post-miscarriage counseling. Additional service lines include school-based prevention programs for grades 6 and 9, legal counseling by female attorneys, and professional training for pedagogical and psychosocial institutions. The organization is sponsored by (Trägerin) Frauen gegen Gewalt gGmbH, a non-profit limited liability company registered in Kiel (HRB 26209 KI), with managing director Naciye Demirbilek.

The center's service portfolio is delivered through a multi-channel architecture. Two physical counseling offices in Eutin (Plöner Straße 39) and Neustadt (Lienaustraße 14) provide in-person Beratung, supplemented by mobile counseling in Burg auf Fehmarn, Oldenburg, and Heiligenhafen upon appointment. Digital service delivery is built on the third-party "text us" platform, which provides encrypted, confidential communication with self-chosen anonymous accounts and user-initiated account deletion; the platform is operated through an account model rather than as a proprietary build. The center also hosts the KIK (Kooperations- und Interventions-Konzept) coordination office for Kreis Ostholstein, functioning as the convening node between justice, public services, police, counseling, and youth-welfare institutions for district-wide domestic violence response.

The revenue model is primarily subsidy-driven rather than commercial. Core funding flows from government sources — the State of Schleswig-Holstein (via the Ministry for Social Affairs, Youth, Family, Senior Citizens, Integration and Equality), Kreis Ostholstein, and the cities of Eutin and Neustadt — covering the predominant share of operational costs. Secondary funding streams include individual donations channeled through the Förderverein (supporting association) bank account and membership fees used for special projects and unexpected expenses. All counseling services are provided free of charge, confidential, and optionally anonymous; the only direct service charge is a €5 protective fee for initial legal consultation in Eutin, which is waived in cases of financial hardship. The center holds memberships in the state-level LFSH and national BFF associations and operates under GDPR compliance with an external data protection officer appointed through the ULD Schleswig-Holstein.
