Hilfe zur Erziehung - Sozialpädagogische Familienhilfe
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Sozialpädagogische Familienhilfe (socio-educational family support) is intended to support the family through intensive care and guidance. The support is aimed at families or single parents who are in a crisis situation or a situation of being overwhelmed, and who need support with parenting, with managing everyday life, and in contact with authorities and institutions. The support is provided mainly in the family's home. For this, a socio-educational specialist comes to the family regularly for several hours per week. It is meant to be a noticeable, practical form of help with everyday life and requires the active participation of all family members.
