Apply for socio-educational family support

  • Service description

    Social-educational family assistance takes place directly in the family and in their home. The family receives support in everyday matters and in the form of therapeutic processing of problem situations. To this end, a social education specialist visits the family regularly for several hours a week. The assistance is tailored to the specific everyday life of the family.
    Social pedagogical family assistance is particularly helpful for single parents who are under a lot of stress from coping with everyday family life.
    Individual goals are developed with the family, based on the respective resources and abilities of the family members. Goals can include:

    • Restoring and strengthening parenting skills
    • Uncovering the strengths and abilities of individual family members
    • Support in coping with everyday life
    • Strengthening self-esteem
    • Strengthening the ability to deal with conflict
    • Improving relationships with each other
  • Procedure

    Contact the relevant authority with your problems. They will decide whether educational assistance is appropriate and what kind of assistance is available.
    The relevant authority will help you with the application and also advise you on other options for assistance.
    Once educational assistance has been approved, all parties involved will work together to draw up an assistance plan. This plan will specify how educational assistance will be provided in your case. It is important that all family members benefit from this.
