Model project ReFit Stuttgart - Support in the rehabilitation and integration process

Creating successful transitions in the rehabilitation process - to achieve this goal, an innovative counseling and support structure is being established and tested in the model project "ReFit Stuttgart - Support in the rehabilitation and integration process". Beneficiaries with health restrictions who are able to work and who want to participate or have participated in a medical rehabilitation measure are supported by a specially formed team within the framework of the project. The participants receive personal assistance and support services that take their socio-medical situation into account individually and holistically in the integration process. The results of the medical rehabilitation are used as a basis for sustainable integration into working life. Special attention is paid to the inclusion of the social environment and the possibilities of self-help. Prognostic criteria for successful processes are developed. For participants whose performance capacity is not yet satisfactory for participation in the Job Center's regular services, intensive further support and testing is made possible within the framework of bridging services related to the world of work. Two bridge programs provide target-group-specific support in the event of psychological or physical stress. Another bridge program for participants with health problems and poor German skills also offers language support in the run-up to a medical rehabilitation measure. The course of the project is monitored externally and the findings are implemented directly in the sense of a learning project.
