Temporary full-time care for young people - advice

Are you a caregiver for a young person in a temporary full-time care arrangement? Here you can find out where and how you can get professional support and advice.

Detailed description

When placed under temporary full-time care, the young person lives with you in the foster family for a certain period of time with the prospect of returning to their family of origin.

The responsible youth welfare office assesses the development potential of the birth parents in such a way that a return of the foster child is possible within a certain period of time.

To successfully meet the specific requirements of temporary, full-time care, we provide you with professional advice and support from specialists with proven expertise. Ongoing, specialist advice and support for care relationships should help stabilize your foster family in the long term.

They are thus obligated to cooperate with the responsible youth welfare office throughout the assistance process.
