Apply for intensive individual socio-educational support

Intensive individual social-pedagogical support promotes the integration of adolescents and young adults into social life. It is a type of educational assistance. Supporting and accompanying offers are intended to enable age-appropriate support in school and extracurricular activities.

The young person is accompanied by a pedagogical specialist over a longer period of time.

The help can take place in the parents' home, in the young person's own apartment or in a pedagogically supervised residential group.
The goal is that the pedagogical specialist prepares the young person for an independent and self-responsible life. She helps the young person to find friends or other confidants who will continue to accompany and support the young person through his or her life.
If the Youth Welfare Office determines that young people and young adults need such help (have educational needs), then you get this help from the Youth Welfare Office.
