Erziehungsbeistand oder Betreuungshelfer beantragen

An educational advisor can help your child in everyday life, in dealing with you as parents and with social problems.

A parenting support worker can help your child in everyday life, in dealing with you as parents and with social problems. Possible forms of help are

• Talking about problems, fears and behavior
• Help with coming to terms with stressful experiences
• Support in solving problems with family, friends, teachers or other people
• Support with visits to the authorities
• for older young people: Support in finding work and accommodation, help in separating 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.

Please clarify with the Youth Welfare Office which documents you need to submit.

The costs for the help are borne by the youth welfare office.

Please contact the responsible youth welfare office. The youth welfare office will assess the case and decide whether a parenting assistant is suitable for your child. It will help you with the application and also advise you on other options for help.

If the help is approved, all parties involved will draw up a help plan together. This sets out the process, goals and duration of the help.

The youth welfare office holds regular meetings to review the progress of the help and whether any changes would be useful.

Please contact the local youth welfare office.

Responsibility lies with the local youth welfare office.
