Hilfe zur Erziehung - Soziale Gruppenarbeit
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Participation in social group work is intended to help older children and young people overcome developmental difficulties and behavioral problems. Shared group experiences foster the development of social skills and appropriate ways of interacting and dealing with conflict with peers. An indispensable part of social group work is the involvement of parents, for example through conversations, invitations to joint events, or other activities.
