Every family has arguments from time to time—between parents or between parents and children. When these arguments become more frequent, it can be a major strain. Parents and children sometimes need support in such cases. Parenting support services provide this assistance. “Parenting support services” is the term used for various support programs designed to help families deal with problems and crisis situations.

If you would like to receive help from the Youth Welfare Office, you must contact them. This help is not mandatory; it is an offer. The first step is often a counseling session with the Youth Welfare Office. There, you can explain your problem. The staff can make suggestions on how to resolve the issue.

Children, adolescents, or young adults can also seek help from the Youth Welfare Office on their own. Parents do not need to know about it if the young people do not want them to.

Parental support services are tailored to the interests and needs of the child or adolescent. The basis for granting these services is the support plan process. The support plan process involves the legal guardians, the children or adolescents, and the Youth Welfare Office.

There are various types of educational assistance:

• An educator advises and supports parents on parenting issues (parenting counseling).
• A group-based educational program is designed to promote the social development of older children and adolescents (social group work).
• A social education specialist works to help children or adolescents (educational support).
• Children receive assistance when their parents have a mental illness.
• Supporting the child or adolescent’s transition to independence while maintaining their connection to the family (care assistant).
• Care and support for a child in an emergency situation. For example, the child may be placed in a foster family or a residential youth welfare facility for a certain period of time (residential care, supervised living arrangements, or intensive individual social-educational support).
• For children and adolescents with mental disabilities, there is also integration assistance (which is not considered part of educational assistance). Of course, they are also entitled to educational assistance. Educational assistance and integration assistance can be provided either separately or in combination.
