Sozialpädagogische Familienhilfe beantragen

As a family or single parent, do you need support to help you cope with everyday family life? Then socio-pedagogical family assistance is an option for you. Socio-educational family support is a form of educational assistance provided by the youth welfare office.

Socio-educational family support takes place directly in the family and in their home. The family receives support with everyday issues and in the form of therapeutic work on problem situations. To this end, a socio-educational specialist regularly visits the family for several hours a week. The help is tailored to the family's everyday life.
Socio-educational family support is particularly supportive for single parents who are under a lot of pressure to cope with everyday family life.
Individual goals are worked out with the family based on the family members' respective resources and abilities. Goals can be

• Restoring and strengthening parenting skills
• Uncovering the strengths and abilities of individual family members
• Support in coping with everyday life
• Strengthening self-esteem
• Strengthening the ability to deal with conflict
• Improving relationships with each other

Socio-educational family support must help the children concerned.
Socio-educational family support can help you with these problems:

• You have problems with the organization of everyday life.
• You need support in dealing with authorities, schools and doctors.
• You have difficulties caring for and raising your children.

An important prerequisite for the success of the service is your willingness to accept help and work towards change.

The costs of socio-pedagogical family support are borne by the youth welfare office.

Contact the responsible office with your problems. They will decide whether educational assistance is appropriate and which forms of assistance are suitable.
The responsible office will help you with the application and also advise you on other help options.
Once the child-raising support has been approved, all parties involved will draw up a support plan together. This will set out how the educational support should be organized in your case. It is important that all family members benefit from it.

Note:
Socio-educational family support is primarily intended to help people help themselves. It is intended to solve a family's problems in the long term and is therefore usually designed for a longer period of time. The exact duration in each individual case is determined by the youth welfare office together with all parties involved and set out in the help plan.
