Human dignityfinds its origin here. The creation of humans takes place only after the creation of he...aven and earth, and man and womanare created to be in relationship with their environment. All that human beings need for their survival and well-being isprovided by God but requires their creative effort and toil.

Geflüchtete Kinder und Jugendliche verdienen eine besondere, vor allem traumasensible Beachtung, denn sie sind vor, während und nach der Flucht vermehrt Risikofaktoren wie Armut und Gewalt ausgesetzt. Lehrkräfte und Sozialarbeitende benötigen sowohl ein Verständnis über die Bedarfe und Schwier...igkeiten, als auch über die Stärken und Ressourcen der Ankommenden.
n den Kursen wird sowohl theoretisches Wissen zu Trauma und Flucht vermittelt, als auch praktisches Handlungswissen anhand von Alltagssituationen eingeübt. Die interaktive Kursdidaktik ist entlang von persönlichen Geschichten real existierender Personen aufgebaut.

In the USA, Catholic Social Teaching is commonly called “the church’s best keptsecret”. And, indeed, did the church’s Social Teaching on the other side of the Atlantic never enjoy the political and societal importance attributed to it in many European countries for such a long time including..., and above all, Germany. Entire generations of Catholic politicians, social scientists, trade unionists andentrepreneurs were shaped by the Social Teachings of their Church in thesecountries, and this moulding has influenced their way of acting to a great extent. This influence can be clearly traced in the socio-economic realm where Catholic SocialTeaching has contributed fundamentally to the rise of what we today – in a cleardividing line to the boundless capitalism of the Anglo-American brand – call theSocial Market Economy.

Our spiritual health profoundly impacts our physical health, well-being, and quality of life. Just as medical professionals care for our bodies and minds, spiritual care practitioners care for our spirits. The increasing need for spiritual care makes these practitioners even more crucial. However, m...any of us have limited access to quality, professional spiritual care. At times of struggle, this lack of spiritual care can have a negative impact on our health and well-being.Investigators and researchers are creating a growing body of evidence for the innumerable benefits of professional spiritual care, yet many people still do not have a lot of accurate information about these practitioners. To create this publication, the six largest healthcare chaplaincy organizations in North America collaborated to share the facts about spiritual care and practitioners’ roles, training, and standards.By providing evidence and dispelling myths, the thousands of spiritual care practitioners represented by these organizations hope to increase access to spiritual care for the benefit of all.
