Family conferences
A weekend with everyone involved with NBIA: affected families, therapists, doctors and researchers
Organized every few years Hoffnungsbaum e.V. in Germany, a family conference. In addition to those affected and their relatives, therapists, doctors and researchers, among others, are invited to give lectures and are also available for discussions. The family conferences are a good opportunity to gain insights into the association's work as well as information about research, to get to know other families and to exchange ideas with each other. A special "highlight" of our family conferences is always the varied and loving child and youth care, which has already been designed eight times by our proven team of volunteers from Velbert. All 8 family conferences have only come about thanks to the self-help support of the statutory health insurance companies as part of their project funding. We would like to express our gratitude for this.
