Youth Welfare Office

The Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office) can help with parenting and family matters. For example:

• It can help you find a daycare place for your child
• It can help you determine how much you need to pay for the daycare place
• If a child is at risk, it provides protection and support

You can contact the Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office) if you have a child, are expecting a child, or need help with parenting or family matters. Children and young people can also contact the Jugendamt themselves. You can also contact it if you are worried about a child.

Each district has its own Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office). As a rule, the Jugendamt in the district where you are registered is responsible.
