Module 0: Welcome and ready to go!
Wer in der Antidiskriminierungsberatung arbeitet, ist täglich mit Unrecht, Schmerz und den Kämpfen anderer Menschen konfrontiert. Das kostet Kraft – und wer langfristig eine verlässliche Stütze für Ratsuchende sein will, braucht selbst ein stabiles Fundament. Dieses Modul eröffnet den Kurs „Selbstfürsorge und Grenzen setzen" als geschützten Raum, in dem Du lernst, Grenzen zu ziehen, ohne Deine Empathie zu verlieren, und Dir nach und nach einen Empowerment-Koffer mit Strategien für den Alltag füllst. Bevor es inhaltlich losgeht, richtest Du hier Deine Lernumgebung ein und erfährst, wie der Kurs aufgebaut ist – im eigenen Tempo, mit Raum für Pausen und mit einem Selbstschutz-Button für Momente, die Dich triggern könnten.

Module 1: The Foundation: Your relationship to boundaries – where do you stand?
Before we discuss how and why we set boundaries in counseling, let's pause for a moment. What does this word actually evoke in you?

Module 2: The Compass: Recognizing Warning Signals and Energy Levels
In Module 1, we saw that exhaustion in anti-discrimination work is not an individual failure, but a real occupational hazard. But how exactly does this overload manifest itself in you personally? The body sends signals, often long before you reach your breaking point.

Module 3: The Shield: Professional Handling of Triggers

Module 4: “The safety net: Staying healthy together and structurally”
