"Young people who are in need of increased support to compensate for social disadvantages or to overcome individual impairments should be offered socio-educational assistance within the framework of youth welfare to promote their education and vocational training, integration into the world of work and their social integration." (§ 13 SGB VIII)

School social work services are a central part of this socio-educational assistance in Wiesbaden. Youth welfare and social planning supports the needs-based further development and evaluation in this area.
