Apply for intensive individual socio-educational support

Read aloud

Intensive individual socio-educational support promotes the integration of adolescents and young adults into social life. It is a type of educational support service. The aim is to provide age-appropriate support in school and extracurricular activities through supportive and accompanying services.

The young person is accompanied by a pedagogical specialist over a longer period of time.

The support can take place at home, in the young person's own home or in an educationally supervised residential group.

The aim is for the educational specialist to prepare the young person for an independent and self-reliant life. They help the young person to find friends or other confidants who will continue to accompany and support them through their lives.

If the youth welfare office determines that young people and young adults need such help (have educational needs), they will receive this help from the youth welfare office.

In the case of intensive socio-educational support in an inpatient setting, you must contribute to the costs to an appropriate extent. Inpatient means that the young person lives in a residential facility or in their own home. Please contact the relevant youth welfare office for more information.

Process flow

As a parent or guardian, you must submit an application for educational assistance.

As a young adult, you can also submit an application yourself. This application is called "Application for help for young adults".

  • Contact the relevant youth welfare office.
  • The youth welfare office will explain to you in a personal meeting what help is available.
  • If the youth welfare office thinks that you need help in the form of intensive individual socio-educational support, you can submit an application for "educational support".
  • All parties involved (you, your child, the caregiver and the youth welfare office) will meet for a help plan discussion. The help plan sets out how the help is to be organized and what goals are to be achieved.
  • The youth welfare office looks for a suitable specialist. If there are several options, you can help choose.
  • The youth welfare office regularly checks whether the help is still suitable.
