Early support
For a good start into family life, the youth welfare office informs families about support and counseling services so that young families know from the beginning who they can turn to if they need help.

Life with children brings a lot of joy but also presents some challenges. In addition to sleep deprivation, small and big concerns about the baby can take a lot of energy.
Early help professionals support parents during this phase and are contact persons for all concerns relating to children aged 0-3 years.
As part of this, Oberbergischer Kreis offers free support through a family midwife. More information on this can be found in the category Family midwives.
Early support services assist:
-
Finding ways to get relief in everyday life.
-
Getting in touch with other parents.
-
Obtaining information about the baby.
-
Finding your role as parents.
-
Finding suitable places that can provide more intensive support to parents in their concerns.
