Crisis situations or family problems can lead to children or young people being placed in a home or other form of supervised living (e.g. supervised individual living, residential group for several young people, mother-child residential group).

Home education or placement in another form of assisted living is possible:

as a temporary measure, after which the children or young people return to their family of origin
as a temporary measure that prepares the children or young people for placement in a foster family
as a permanent measure that prepares the children or young people for independent living

As a guardian, please contact the responsible youth welfare office. It will assess your case and decide whether placing your child outside the family is a suitable measure. It will help you with the application and also advise you on other options for help.

If it approves the help, all parties involved will draw up a help plan together. This sets out how the help will be organized and how long it should last.
