Childcare assistance, educational assistance and socio-educational family assistance
Stability, security and confidence providing the ability to work on changes
For more than 40 years, Trockendock e.V. has been active in the Hamburg Youth Welfare and offers high-quality and multi-layered services, especially in the areas of addiction prevention, counselling and migration work.
We offer outpatient assistance on the basis of SGB VIII § 27 in conjunction with
§ 30 Educational assistance and care assistance for children, adolescents and young adults to promote development and stable living conditions
and
§ 31 Socio-educational family assistance for families with children to promote parenting skills
We support children, adolescents and young adults as well as families needing support in education and coping with everyday life. The respective needs are determined by the Youth Welfare Office. By activating and strengthening their own resources, young people and families can learn to accept difficulties and to cope with them as independently as possible.
Social relations and networks are important points of our work. Individual gender-specific concerns are given special attention in all our support areas.
