Do your children no longer listen to you? Do you have problems finding your place as a Mum or Dad? Do you not know how to set boundaries for or express your support to your children?
Psychological, social, or educational assistance in your family can help you find the answers to the educational needs (reaching agreements, setting rules, following through) and interpersonal needs (expressing affection and love, knowing how to convey safety and protection) of children or young people.
Family assistance also supports families and young people in their daily organization (covering needs, care, structure, and rituals) and clarifies the tasks and responsibilities of each family member. Thus, the family situation can be improved so that each member finds their place in the family.
