Erziehungsbeistand oder Betreuungshelfer beantragen

Does your child have problems in everyday life or in their development? Are you as a parent unable to help your child on your own? Then an educational advisor can support your child.

A parenting support worker or care assistant can help a child or young person in everyday life, in dealing with their parents and with social problems.
Possible forms of help are

• Talking about problems, fears and behavior
• Help in coming to terms with stressful experiences
• Support in solving problems with family, friends, teachers or other people
• Support with visits to the authorities
• There is further help for older young people: Support with finding work and accommodation
• Help with separation 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.
This is a type of educational support service. It can also apply to young adults.

• All parties involved (you, your child, the educational advisor/care assistant and the youth welfare office) will meet to discuss a support plan. The help plan sets out how the help is to be organized and which goals are to be achieved.
