Priorities and research

Scholten campaigned in particular for the introduction of qualified family work in youth welfare. He also completed training as a quality manager at Dekra in Freiburg and was a founding member of the European Charity University eV .

In the Raphaelshaus he initiated various research projects together with the Institute for Child and Youth Welfare (IKJ) Mainz, including the scientific support of the Helen Keller group in the youth welfare center Raphaelshaus with special consideration of the animal education offers, accompanying research for the model project "Juvenile prison in free Forms ”in the Horst-Wackerbarth-Gruppe (model project of the Ministry of Justice of North Rhine-Westphalia ) as well as the evaluation of the Otmar-Alt-Gruppe, a model project for the evaluation and quality development of an inpatient educational aid concept for the educational-therapeutic care of sexually conspicuous adolescents. The results of the scientific studies became the basis for the further development of the conception and methodology for youth welfare with particularly difficult girls and boys.
