Counseling center for children, adolescents and families
Children, young people, parents, and other caregivers can contact the city's counseling centers for children, young people, and families with any personal or family-related questions. These can include, for example, questions about development, upbringing, (family) conflicts, or separation and divorce.
The counselors typically discuss very personal experiences and feelings that require a safe and confidential environment. Therefore, all counselors are bound by professional confidentiality. Counseling is free of charge and available in other languages (with the support of interpreters who are also bound by confidentiality). Anonymous counseling is also possible upon request. We are a team of professionals from the fields of social work, education, psychology, and psychotherapy.
Reasons for seeking advice may include:
- Parent-child conflicts
- Separation and divorce
- puberty
- Domestic violence
- Parenting uncertainty
- Patchwork families
- Mentally ill parents
- Social problems
- Problems in kindergarten and school
- Traumatic experiences
- neglect
- Domestic violence
- Sexual abuse
- Illness, death, grief
- Abnormalities in the child's behavior and development
- Incarcerated parents
- Regulatory disorders in early childhood
- Partner conflicts regarding parenting
