Request education in a day group

Education in a day group is particularly suitable for children of school age and older who exhibit behavioral problems or developmental delays. This is a type of assistance for upbringing. It can also be suitable for young adults according to §41 SGB VIII.
A day group is a so-called partial inpatient help. During the week, your child will be looked after in a day group during the day after school. Afterwards, however, it can remain in the family and thus in the familiar environment.
Education in a day group means:

• Your child receives therapeutic and pedagogical care
• It receives support in integrating into the school and the social environment.
• It learns in a group how to deal with other children and how to cope with conflicts.
• It learns to organize its everyday life and receives suggestions for meaningful leisure activities.
• The parents are intensively involved, for example through counseling sessions, parents' evenings or parent-child meetings.

The goals of education in a day group are

• the strengthening of the child
• the strengthening of the parents
• strengthening the parent-child relationship
• keeping the child in the family

Requirements

• You are the person with custody of a child (parent or guardian)
