The psychological support department at Mäi Wëllen, Mäi Wee was created in 2017. At the beginning it was able to offer its services only occasionally and as a volunteer activity performed by certain administrators of the Charity who had received training about the issue at hand.
Since 2020 and thanks to an agreement with the Family Ministry of Family Affairs, Integration and the Greater Region, this department has been active 40 hours a week. It offers the following services:
