HISTORY
There is a term with the word "System Crasher", which describes that our help system fails in the care of children and adolescents - why is the focus nevertheless exclusively on the children and not on the structures behind it?
From 2018 to 2022, Rebecca-Paulina Prausner and Marlene Weber accompanied youths, so-called system crashers,together in the concept of supervised individual living. In their work, they intercepted what the (help) system could not do for years and encountered highly complex (psychosocial) conditions such as delinquency, imprisonment, homelessness, violence, constant changes in institutions, gang-crime or prostitution in an intensive educational setting.
In addition to the continuous offer of a trustful and stable relation, an elementary part of working with so-called system crashers is to rebuild dysfunctional support systems, to sensitize various actors to the needs of young people and to make bureaucratic structures flexible enough to ensure that the children are provided with permanent basic care and the preservation of the system can be guaranteed at the same time.
Against this background, they founded Rearrange gGmbH as part of a scholarship through Start Social e.V. they founded Rearrange gGmbH. In this way, they want to increase the impact spectrum of their work and reach various marginalized groups of people by addressing scenarios in which people and structures collide.
