Apply for parental assistance or care assistants
Service Description
A parenting support worker or care assistant can help a child or young person in everyday life, in dealing with their parents and with social problems.
Possible forms of help are
- Talking about problems, fears and behavior
- Help in coming to terms with stressful experiences
- Support in solving problems with family, friends, teachers or other people
- Support with visits to the authorities
- There is further help for older young people: Support with finding work and accommodation
- Help with separation from parents
- Help with becoming independent
Note: In contrast to "socio-educational family support", a parenting support worker concentrates their help largely on the child or young person in question. If possible, he involves the social environment.
This is a type of educational support service. It can also apply to young adults.
Process flow
- Contact the responsible youth welfare office.
- You will be shown possible help in a personal meeting. This could be, for example, a parenting support worker or a care assistant for your child.
- If this help comes into question, then submit an application for educational assistance.
