Team leaders

The work of Lifegate is desi­gned and mana­ged by 10 team leaders with their respec­ti­ve teams.

In a weekly meeting of team leaders, the acti­vi­ties are repor­ted, joint events are coor­di­na­ted and agree­ments are made.

In month­ly team meetings, the team leaders pass on the latest news to their teams, talk about problems in trai­ning and ongo­ing work and inform the teams about current developments.

In regu­lar multi­di­sci­pli­na­ry team meetings, all persons from the depart­ments working with child­ren and adolescents meet in order to inform, coor­di­na­te and formu­la­te results and new goals. Often the parents are also involved.
