Apply for social pedagogical family assistance

Description

Social pedagogical family assistance takes place directly in the family and in their home. The family receives support in everyday issues and in the form of therapeutic processing of problem situations. For this purpose, a socio-educational specialist visits the family regularly for several hours per week. The assistance is based on the concrete everyday life of the family.
The socio-pedagogical family help is especially supportive for single parents who are heavily burdened by coping with everyday family life.
Individual goals are worked out with the family, based on the respective resources and abilities of the family members. Goals can be:

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