The work of Lifegate is desiÂgned and manaÂged by 10 team leaders with their respecÂtiÂve teams.
In a weekly meeting of team leaders, the actiÂviÂties are reporÂted, joint events are coorÂdiÂnaÂted and agreeÂments are made.
In monthÂly team meetings, the team leaders pass on the latest news to their teams, talk about problems in traiÂning and ongoÂing work and inform the teams about current developments.
In reguÂlar multiÂdiÂsciÂpliÂnaÂry team meetings, all persons from the departÂments working with childÂren and adolescents meet in order to inform, coorÂdiÂnaÂte and formuÂlaÂte results and new goals. Often the parents are also involved.
