Allgemeine Hilfen zur Erziehung

Children, adolescents, parents and other guardians can turn to the municipal educational counseling centers for all questions concerning development and upbringing, personal or family issues, separation and divorce.

A team of professionals looks after such people who are seeking advice on parenting: psychologists, psychotherapists, social pedagogues as well as social workers with additional therapeutic training, child and adolescent psychotherapists are available when

• the development of a baby, child or adolescent is not going as desired or the impression arises that attention and support are not being accepted.
• single parents seek exchange and advice in everyday parenting issues.
• separated partners seek a way of understanding in case of conflict for the sake of the children.
• living together in the family should be balanced and improved.
• children are experiencing quarrels and fights at home and want the situation to improve.

The "help for upbringing" is available to all custodians of minor children who need support with their upbringing.

The "help for upbringing" is varied and is put together individually in each case. Thus, those seeking advice receive more detailed information about which concrete offers of help are available and under which circumstances you can make use of them.

As a rule, very personal and family experiences and feelings are discussed between those seeking advice and the counselors, which require a trusting framework. All counselors therefore have a duty of confidentiality.
