Continuation of placement / assistance for young adults as foster children, accompaniment
Service Description
The goals of help with upbringing in full-time care are not achieved in the short term. When a foster child turns 18, assistance can be continued. This is to ensure that progress achieved in the development of the young adult is not jeopardized. Young adults receive assistance as long as their personality development does not allow them to lead a self-determined, independent and responsible life.
In the case of continuation of the assistance, the previous offer is continued.
The continuation of help must be applied for before the 18th birthday. It can be granted until the child reaches the age of 21. In exceptional cases, it can also be granted beyond this age.

The application for continuation of assistance is made by the adolescents or young adults themselves.
The foster child service or the local youth welfare office can advise them.
