Mission & Vision

The Josefs-Gesellschaft (JG) is a nation-wide catholic society running a number of institutions for the rehabilitation of people with disabilities in Germany. JG supports people in discovering own possibilities and develop new abilities. They encourage people with disabilities to take self-responsible steps in the rehabilitation path. We see ourselves as personal companions on the way to self-employment.
JG helps users to maximize independence, improving quality of services and quality of life, supporting consumers, providers and policy makers. The services we provide range from housing options, schools, vocational training and workshops to medical and nursing care.
