Apply for intensive socio-pedagogical one-to-one support


The intensive socio-pedagogical individual support promotes the integration of adolescents and young adults into social life. It is a type of educational aid. Support and accompanying offers are intended to enable age-appropriate support in school and extracurricular areas.

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

The help can take place at the parents' home, in the young person's own home or in a pedagogically supervised residential group.

The aim is for the pedagogical specialist to prepare the young person for an independent and self-responsible life. It helps the young person to find friends or other confidants who will continue to accompany and support the young person through his or her life.

If the Youth Welfare Office determines that adolescents and young adults need such help (have educational needs), then you will receive this help from the Youth Welfare Office.
