You need support

Do you need support for your child or are you looking for financial help?

Here you will find information on the following:

• Does your child need special help with learning?
• Are you looking for an advisory centre for parents, children or families?
• Is your child or a child around you being bullied at school?
• Do you need financial support?

Does your child need special help with learning?

Some children develop later than others. Did your child learn to speak late? Or does your child not speak clearly? Does your child find it difficult to concentrate? Or does it get angry quickly? If you are unsure about any of these things, there are doctors or psychologists who can help. There are many specialists and doctors who can help your child at the Sozialpädiatrisches Zentrum Frankfurt.

You can also ask an early intervention centre for help:

Does your child have special needs? For example, because he or she doesn't hear well? Or because she or he can't speak well? Then it is especially important to find the right school. You can find schools that cater for children with special needs on this website of the City of Frankfurt am Main.

Some schools have programmes for children who need support with learning. These programmes can, for example, be learning groups, language support or learning holidays. There are programmes for young and for older children. You can download a flyer at the bottom of the website of the City of Frankfurt am Main. You will also find addresses and telephone numbers of people you can contact.

Does your child or someone in your family have a disability? The association Gemeinsam leben Frankfurt advises people with disabilities.

Are you looking for an advisory centre for parents, children or families?

Do you need advice because things are difficult at home right now? Do you perhaps have questions because your child is having problems at school? Or has your child experienced violence?

You can get help from Erziehungsberatungsstellen (child guidance clinics) in your district. You can get advice in different languages, such as Arabic, English, Russian, Tamazight or Turkish.
