Benefit reading with Senta Berger: Hope for premature babies in Harlaching!

On Saturday, October 18th, there will be a very special reading in the August Everding Hall. The popular actress Senta Berger will speak about the topic of modern neonatology and structured Harl.e.kin aftercare. This event is intended to highlight the impressive progress that has been made in the care of premature babies and also to encourage the current collection for the new premature baby ward in Harlaching. The initiators and those responsible want to support the goal that nine out of ten premature babies born at the biological limit can grow into healthy children. Weekly Gazette reports that the Harl.e.kin teams accompany the families of premature babies even after they are discharged in order to identify undesirable developments at an early stage and to strengthen the parent-child bond.

The “Harlequin Premature Baby Aftercare” not only supports premature babies, but also developmentally endangered and chronically ill children in Munich. The most important clinics that offer this valuable support include the children's clinics and perinatal centers in Harlaching and Schwabing as well as the Hospital of the Technical University of Munich. These aid programs go beyond inpatient care and pursue a clear basic idea: better development for children at risk through favorable psychosocial conditions. More information can be found on the association's website Harlequin Club.

A ray of hope for families

Children born prematurely need the right support to develop optimally. This is where the work of Harlekin comes into play, which was founded as an association in the Harlaching children's clinic and is now part of the Bavaria-wide Harl.e.kin aftercare. Their mission to support affected families in these crucial first months and get the best for children is more important now than ever.

In addition, since 2016, the association has been offering further training for professionals who are already working in psychosocial counseling. Prematureborn.de emphasizes that there is collaboration with the German Society for Neonatology and Pediatric Intensive Care Medicine on training modules that address important aspects of psychosocial support and advice for parents. Participants receive practical knowledge designed to support families in the often challenging time after discharge.

A call for support

It's worth marking October 18th in your calendar now and not missing the evening with Senta Berger. Instead of the usual leisure activities, you can make an active contribution here - be it by taking part in the reading or by donating to the reopening of the premature baby ward in Harlaching. Because in the end, what matters is that such dedicated aftercare means that responsibility for the little ones is taken on so that they can start life in a better position.
