Youth
The Youth Service of the Waldeck-Frankenberg district is the responsible body for public youth welfare and is committed to children, young people, parents and families, supports the competence and educational mandate of parents and is the contact for children and young people. Every young person has the right to have his or her development promoted and to be brought up as an independent and socially responsible person. The district's youth service provides the best possible support and advice - and also assumes a supervisory role.
Foster parents wanted!
There are situations in which parents are temporarily unable to raise, care for and provide for their children. For these situations, the district is looking for foster parents who can provide temporary support.
Maintenance advance
If the maintenance of minor children is not secured because the parent liable to pay maintenance does not or cannot pay maintenance for this child, the district can make advance payments under certain conditions.
Help with custody issues
Parents are entitled to support in all custody matters. The counselling aims in particular at developing parents' own competence to jointly and responsibly take care of their children's concerns and duties, even in case of partner problems.
Social service
The social service of the Waldeck-Frankenberg district offers children, adolescents, young adults and parents counselling, support and assistance in various life situations - especially crisis situations and conflicts.
Child day care
The desire to reconcile family and work requires a network of qualified and reliable services. Child day care has become an indispensable part of child care in the district.
Healthy lunch
A balanced diet is the basis for good development. In the day-care centres in Waldeck-Frankenberg, many children are looked after all day. The district of Waldeck-Frankenberg actively promotes balanced lunchtime meals.
Early help
The birth of a child presents all young parents with new challenges. Early support is available to ensure that pregnant women and young families receive the best possible support and to make the start in life for their child as loving, safe and healthy as possible.
