Shelter (children, adolescents and young adults)
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.
