Street social work Steilshoop General information

Young people who need support can contact street social workers. More information is available here.

Detailed description

Street social workers are there for you if you spend a lot of time outdoors, for example on streets, squares, or in parks. They listen to you, talk to you, and take you seriously.


They support you without judgment, and everything you discuss usually remains confidential. They also inform you about available support services and can accompany you to government offices, counseling centers, or other institutions if needed. They can also help resolve conflicts or cope with difficult situations.


Street social work is voluntary. You decide for yourself whether you want contact and what kind of support you want to accept. The goal is to empower you and help you in your daily life.
