20 years of mobile hospice service: honor and review of valuable help
A special anniversary was recently celebrated in Mauthausen. The Mobile Hospice of the Red Cross in the Perg district has performed 20 years of service at the community. Long -standing employees were honored in the festive framework of a cabaret of the “Mali Tant” who take care of seriously ill people with great commitment. At this moving celebration, the guests experienced how valuable human accompaniment in the last phases of life is.
Since its foundation, the mobile hospice has supported almost 1,000 people and did an impressive 20,000 hours of voluntary service. Head of Adelheid Schützeneder expressed gratitude for the confidence of the clients and relatives. "Every encounter is unique for us," she explained and emphasized the importance of the volunteers who give their clients time and attention.
separate honors for deserved employees
Special awards were also distributed as part of the anniversary celebration. Gabriele Lindtner, Anna Luftensteiner and Romana Tockner received the year of service in silver, while Adelheid Schützeneder and Esther Moser were awarded the medal of merit. This recognition illustrates the significant contribution that these women have made to offer people in difficult phases of life.Another aspect of the commitment of the Red Cross in the Perg district is the important work with children and adolescents. At a time when topics such as death and grief are often taboo, the Red Cross starts various project days in cooperation with the State Association Hospiz Upper Austria. These programs should offer young people the opportunity to think about death in an age -appropriate way and to develop healthy coping strategies. For example, students of the Borg Perg took part in a workshop and even attended a funeral home.
projects for schools and parents
The project "Hospiz Makes School" can be booked free of charge for schools from the 3. Class elementary school. It offers educational input and support for teachers to bring students closer to dealing with difficult topics. "We want to encourage the teachers to give the children space to talk about grief and farewell," said Schützeneder. For more information, interested parties can contact Adelheid Schützeneder at the specified contact address.
The work of the mobile hospice is clear proof of the importance of social support and the challenge of dealing with difficult issues in society. The anniversary day showed how much this initiative contributes to a positive change in perception and dealing with the last phases of life of people.
