Family support

The integrative approach combines socio-educational approaches to provide families with the tools they need to develop alternative courses of action. The focus is on strengthening and empowering the family while we work together to comprehensively analyze everyday educational situations. Our primary goal is to find solutions for families so that adolescents can successfully return to their familiar environment.

Family support

Strengthening parental work is of central importance. During family support, parents are supported in replacing old, possibly destructive ways with new ones. At the same time, a protected framework is created for discussions in which parents can talk openly about their (borderline) experiences and difficulties in everyday parenting. This enables them to develop alternative approaches and reflect on the background to their own actions in the family context.

The aim of the close support is to support families in difficult situations, strengthen the family structure and thus promote healthier relationships. The focus of the work is to promote a more harmonious and happier togetherness in the family.
