Some children and teenagers have problems.
For example:

• Developmental problems
• Behavioral problems
• Violence-related problems

Does your child need help?
And should the child participate in a group support program?
Do you have custody of the child?
That means:
You are responsible for the child’s care.
But you can’t always look after the child.

That’s when children and teens can get help.
This help is called social group work.
The children and teens meet in groups for this.
Experts lead the meetings.
Through this, the children and teens are meant to learn:

• How can you get along well with other people?
• How can you be self-confident?
• How can you resolve problems without resorting to violence?

Young adults can also receive this support.

To do so, you must submit an application.
The application is called “Educational Assistance.”

Participation in social group work is intended to help older children and adolescents overcome developmental difficulties and behavioral problems.

Social group work can be beneficial for children and adolescents if they

• repeatedly get into violent altercations,
• have low self-esteem and exhibit disruptive behavior,
• are unable to assert themselves.

In social group work, older children and adolescents meet regularly under the guidance of trained educational professionals.

Social group work encourages social learning. It provides positive experiences, activities, and insights, thereby fostering respect for others and building self-confidence. The goal is to help young people develop into responsible individuals capable of functioning well in a community.

Goals and content depend on the theme of the social group work. Content may include:

• Developing group dynamics,
• Recognizing the triggers of one’s own anger and aggression,
• recognizing and expressing one’s own feelings,
• recognizing and respecting one’s own and others’ boundaries,
• Resolving conflicts peacefully.

This is a type of educational assistance program. It may also apply to young adults.
