Seehaus has been running Seehaus Leonberg as a youth penal system in free forms since 2003 . In 2011 the Seehaus Störmthal followed as the second free-form youth penal facility. Since it was founded, the association has expanded its areas of activity in the areas of criminal assistance, victim assistance, prevention and refugee assistance.

Juvenile detention in free forms

In the Seehaus Leonberg and Seehaus Leipzig, juvenile detention is carried out in free forms . Young men can apply from prison. Up to seven participants each live with an employee family. You take part in a strict working day from 5:45 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The young men can complete a school leaving certificate and the first year of apprenticeship in various professions and are prepared for a life in freedom.

Offender assistance

Victim support and trauma counseling

Victims of crime can find support in dealing with the consequences of the crime at the victim counseling centers. There are also trauma counseling centers where people who have been through trauma can find help.

Restorative Justice

The Seehaus association is committed to restorative justice . Restorative justice is about having those directly involved in a criminal offense talk to a mediator and look for solutions together. The victim's perspective and reparation should move into the center of the criminal proceedings and be taken into account. In the program victim and perpetrator in conversation , victims and perpetrators, who are not directly connected, come together for talks and talk about the consequences of the crime, repentance, reparation, healing and reconciliation.

Prevention and Assertion

With the Protactics developed by Michael Stahl, children and young people can take part in a self-assertion program.

Forest and animal kindergarten

In the forest and animal kindergarten, nature and animal education are combined.
