Counselling centre for parents, children and young people

Parents, children and adolescents can turn to educational and family counselling centres with general and specific questions about parenting, school decisions or problems as well as individual or family crises. In particular, they are available for questions and conflicts in connection with the separation and divorce of parents.

Of course, other guardians or single parents or teachers, educators and paediatricians can also make use of the counselling services. In case of personal crises, children and adolescents can also turn to a counselling centre or seek support without their parents being present.
In addition to the parenting and family counselling centres, the General Social Service of the Youth Welfare Office offers help and support.
In addition to the counselling services mentioned above, parents, children and adolescents can access a virtual counselling service on the internet.

Different circumstances can be the reason for consulting a counselling centre: depending on the age of the child or adolescent, developmental delays, sleep, eating and speech disorders or fears can occur, for example.
At school age, performance and behavioural problems sometimes occur, which can increase in intensity during puberty. Parents often feel overwhelmed with their educational tasks.

Sometimes parents' relationship difficulties also require professional help, or problems arise during separation and divorce. Educational and family counselling centres provide valuable support and guidance for the necessary conflict solutions.

Parents and other guardians have a legal right to educational counselling.
The necessary talks and counselling are free of charge for all those seeking advice.
