Any groups for survivors of CSA?

there's also the trauma outpatient clinic at charité, they run group therapy programs sometimes. not sure if it's strictly csa-focused but worth asking. kostenstelle might cover it if u get a referral from a hausarzt.

another option is berliner hilfe für misshandelte frauen, they do groups for sexualized violence survivors. even if ur not a woman, they can point u to mixed or male-specific resources. i'd call instead of emailing, they're quicker on the phone.

if u want something less formal, selbsthilfe-kontaktstelle in your bezirk can match u with peer-led groups. they're not therapy but people there get it. the one in friedrichshain was helpful when i needed something similar.

Check with Opferhilfe Berlin, they have a directory of trauma informed groups that isn't always the same as what Wildwasser lists. I found out about a smaller group in Neukölln through them that wasn't advertised anywhere else. They also cover costs for group sessions if you have a certain victim status certificate, which takes a few weeks but is worth asking about.

The Berliner Krisendienst might have current leads too, they keep a list that gets updated more often than the online databases. Their Mitte location was able to give me three options within a 15 minute walk from each other when I called last year.

if you're okay with online, nafem berlin offers some virtual groups for csa survivors that aren't as well known, and they might have in-person stuff too depending on the bezirk. otherwise, try calling the berliner innenmission, they run a few trauma groups that aren't always on the public lists, i found out about one in wedding through them

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
