Shelter (children, adolescents and young adults)

Read aloud

Children, adolescents and young adults who have no parents or do not receive regular care in their parents' home find a home in youth welfare institutions.

The reasons for accommodation in youth welfare institutions vary:

  • the death of both parents
  • a child does not receive the necessary care and care from his family
  • Parents don't feel up to the responsibility of raising a child
  • Difficulties at school
  • Behavioural problems
  • Developmental disorders
  • Mental disorders / disabilities

There is a variety of accommodation options for children, adolescents and young adults, such as residential groups, shift work groups, family-like residential groups, educational centers, individual forms of care, 5-day groups, intensive groups, project centers at home and abroad.

The objective of home education is:

  • Protection (against child endangerment)
  • Return to family
  • prepare for education in another family
  • offer a long-term life form
  • Preparing for an independent life
  • Integration assistance for the mentally handicapped
  • Mother/father/child care
  • Intensive pedagogical / therapeutic aids

Young adults are also entitled to help. Young adults are also admitted and cared for in youth welfare institutions (cf. § 41 Social Code (SGB VIII) - Eighth Book).

Who should I contact?

The responsibility lies with the district and the district-free city.
