The new administrative regulation (VwV STÄRKE) has been in force since January 1, 2024.
The aim of the STÄRKE state program is to strengthen the relationship, parenting and everyday skills of (expectant) parents.
By attending an open meeting or participating in a free course for (expectant) parents and families in special life situations, you have the opportunity to make new contacts and ask all your questions to a suitable specialist.
What is an open meeting?
As (expectant) parents, you can go to an Open Meeting to get to know other families, exchange ideas with them, cultivate new friendships or simply make new contacts.
It should be a place for you to relax with coffee and cookies, among other things, where you can also talk to the specialist staff if you need to. They will be happy to help you with your current questions and problems.
It is a free of charge offer, registration is not necessary.
