Family support points
Family support points are low-threshold contact and contact points for families that are affiliated with an existing family education facility run by an independent child and youth welfare organization.
There, families can make contact in open meetings and obtain non-binding advice from a pedagogical specialist when faced with challenges in everyday family life. Thanks to this guiding function of the family support point, families can be directed to an existing service or the right advice center depending on their needs.
The work of the family support points strengthens and expands the existing network of family education stakeholders, identifies gaps in services and makes a major contribution to preventative work for families.
The establishment of family support centers is part of the "state funding program for the structural development of family education and family support centers" from the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs (StMAS), in which the district has been participating since October 2020.
Based on the district's family education concept, the long-term goal of district policy is to establish a family support point in each social area, located in the towns and municipalities with a view to the respective social area and the district. Further information on this concept can be obtained from the specialist department for family support.

Family education concept
In this concept, the initial situation, i.e. the status quo of family education in the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, is presented and supplemented by an analysis of the current situation. This current situation is compared with the identified needs of families, based on the findings of a parent survey, and supplemented by assessments from experts. Measures for the further structural development of municipal family education are derived from this.
