Neuhland

What Neuhland does

Neuhland – Hilfe in Krisen gGmbH is a Berlin-based charitable non-profit gGmbH operating since 1984 as Germany's first suicide-prevention project for children and adolescents. It delivers a portfolio of psychosocial crisis-intervention and therapeutic housing services — including the Beratungsstelle (counseling center), Krisenwohnung (crisis apartments), Kinderwohngruppe (children's living group), TWG Gemini and TWG neuhland (therapeutic living groups for children and young adults), BEW assisted-living, and a mobile/telephone Krisendienst — supported by a 2022 headcount of 85 full-time, 17 part-time, and 71 independent freelance contractors operating under an interdisciplinary clinical and social-pedagogical model with structured supervision.

The organization's revenue is derived almost entirely from public-sector contracts with Land Berlin and Berlin Bezirke (municipal districts) for youth welfare (freie Träger der Jugendhilfe) and psychiatric/psychosocial services, supplemented by a smaller stream of participant fees from the Fortbildungsakademie neuhland, which offers continuing education and a €1,755 nine-module 'Qualifizierung Jugendhilfe – Junge Erwachsene 2026' program for youth welfare professionals. No direct fees are charged to crisis-service clients. Neuhland is wholly owned by Prowo Berlin gGmbH, sits inside the Prowo Verbund alongside Land in Sicht – PROWO gGmbH and MeG Betreutes Wohnen gGmbH, co-operates the Berliner Krisendienst as a joint GbR with five partner organizations, and is a member of the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Suizidprävention, and Netzwerk Suizidprävention Berlin. Operations are entirely Berlin-based, and the organization has no proprietary technology, app, or AI/ML components — service delivery is human-led.

Direct peers

• Nummer gegen Kummer e.V. German non-profit operating the Kinder- und Jugendtelefon, the national helpline for children and adolescents in crisis. Directly comparable to Neuhland on child/youth crisis intervention, though it focuses on telephone counseling rather than residential care.
• Telefonseelsorge Deutschland: Nationwide 24/7 crisis hotline for adults in emotional distress. Comparable to Neuhland's Krisendienst in modality (telephone-based crisis intervention) and suicide prevention expertise, though targeting a broader population.
• Land in Sicht – PROWO gGmbH: Sibling organization within the Prowo Berlin gGmbH Verbund alongside Neuhland, providing supported housing and psychosocial services. Directly comparable on mission, legal structure (gGmbH), and government contracting model.
• MeG Betreutes Wohnen gGmbH: Third member of the Prowo Berlin Verbund, offering assisted living (Betreutes Wohnen) for adults with psychosocial needs. Closely comparable to Neuhland's BEW neuhland service line within the same parent network.
• Albatros gGmbH: Berlin-based non-profit offering psychosocial care, supported housing, and crisis services. Co-partner of the Berliner Krisendienst with Neuhland and a direct operational peer in the same niche.
• Berliner Krisendienst (GB-R): Berlin-wide crisis service jointly operated by Neuhland and partners (Albatros gGmbH, Caritasverband Berlin, KBS, KUB, Platane 19). Neuhland itself participates in this GbR, and the partnership represents the closest operational peer network.

Others

• International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP): Global non-profit coordinating suicide prevention research, policy, and practice. Comparable professional community to Neuhland's Deutsche Gesellschaft für Suizidprävention membership; relevant peer for thought leadership rather than direct service competition.

Emerging players

• Wildwasser Berlin e.V. Specialized Berlin non-profit offering counseling and support for girls and women affected by sexual violence. Comparable niche non-profit operating in Berlin with freier Träger status and Bezirk funding.

Broad incumbents

• Caritasverband für das Erzbistum Berlin e.V. Large Berlin-based Catholic welfare association and co-partner of the Berliner Krisendienst. Offers a much broader portfolio (housing, migration, family services) but competes for the same Bezirk youth welfare contracts as Neuhland.
• Diakonie Berlin: Protestant welfare umbrella operating child and youth services, counseling, and residential facilities across Berlin. Competes with Neuhland for freier Träger status and Bezirk contracts.
