Various social and professional prevention programs announced in Germany

Several regional initiatives in Germany are focusing on prevention and professional development. In Saarland, the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Saarland has announced a series of seminars for November 2026. These include training for medical professionals on recognizing and responding to child welfare risks, an introductory course on mandatory occupational health and safety assessments, and a session on employer branding to combat skilled labor shortages in medical practices.

In Lübeck, the city is introducing an ‘Anti-Mobbing-Parcours’ (Anti-Bullying Course) designed for schools and youth work. An introductory workshop for pedagogical professionals will be held on November 4, 2026, at the Burgtor youth center. Developed with the support of the Action for Child and Youth Protection Schleswig-Holstein (AKJS), the program uses visual materials to help children in grades 3 to 6 distinguish between bullying and general conflict and learn how to respond to harassment.
