You as a family or as a single parent need support to cope with your everyday family life? Then socio-pedagogical family assistance is an option for you. The socio-pedagogical family help is a form of help for upbringing from the youth welfare office.

Social pedagogical family assistance takes place directly in the family and in their home. The family receives support in everyday issues and in the form of therapeutic processing of problem situations. For this purpose, a socio-educational specialist visits the family regularly for several hours per week. The assistance is based on the concrete everyday life of the family.
The socio-pedagogical family help is especially supportive for single parents who are heavily burdened by coping with everyday family life.
Individual goals are worked out with the family, based on the respective resources and abilities of the family members. Goals can be:
