The social workers of the Youth Welfare Service decide on the necessary support services (child welfare services). This includes outpatient, day-care, and residential youth services for children, adolescents, and young adults.
The financial youth welfare office is responsible for financing youth services within the youth welfare department. Among other things, it approves youth welfare services, processes applications from eligible individuals, and reviews the financial situation of young people. The financial youth welfare office operates at several locations, with jurisdiction determined by the respective city districts.
