Request participation in social group work
Through discussions and social learning in the group, children and young people should learn to overcome difficulties, build up self-confidence and respect other opinions.
Social group work is an outpatient offer of youth welfare and a specific form of so-called help for upbringing. Usually, the group meetings take place several times a week and last one to two hours. Social group work is particularly suitable for older children and adolescents.
