Gesundheitsberatung für Familien mit Säuglingen beantragen

If you receive social assistance or basic security and have just had a baby, the social welfare office will bear the costs of counselling sessions.

Many parents experience situations in the first months and years of their child's life that unsettle, worry or overwhelm them.

• Difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep
• Problems with breastfeeding, feeding and eating
• Behavioral problems such as excessive anger and attacks of defiance, anxiety or aggressiveness, reluctance to play
• Separation anxiety and difficulties
• tense family situation
• Relationship problems
• Excessive demands, uncertainty and exhaustion
• Postnatal depression

• Application for health assistance
• Identity card or passport (or other documents that can identify the person beyond doubt)

The competent social assistance institution shall provide information on the documents required in individual cases.

• and for whom the raising of the funds for the necessary assistance from income and assets is not reasonable.
