We conduct sex education programs for school classes. For many of us, a fulfilling sex life is part of what makes us happy; it enriches our lives and is an important means of expressing our personalities. For us, sex education is more than just providing information. For us, sex education work means providing children and adolescents with age-appropriate information in a knowledgeable and empathetic manner, helping them understand their experiences, and offering guidance for their continued development. If you are interested, please contact us at schwangerschaftsberatung@lra-toelz.de

In the context of adoption placement, it is the task of the youth welfare offices to place children with the most suitable applicants. You can obtain comprehensive advice there.

For women in extreme emergency situations who want to keep their pregnancy a secret, confidential birth can be a way of delivering their child in a medically safe manner. The child usually grows up in adoptive families and does not have the opportunity to find out more about its identity until the age of 16 at the earliest.

Parental Allowance or Parental Allowance Plus supports you and your partner financially after the birth of your child and makes it easier to take a break or reduce your working hours. All information on how to apply (also possible online), how parental allowance is calculated, frequently asked questions, etc. can be found on the official website of the Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales ZBFS, as well as on other links below.

Parents who are employed are entitled to unpaid leave from work to look after their child themselves. The entitlement to parental leave is independent of the entitlement to parental allowance and lasts for three years for both parents. During parental leave, up to 32 hours per week can be worked part-time.

We will be happy to advise you personally on all questions relating to the individual planning of parental leave, the division within the partnership and your return to work. Further information can be found in the following links.

If statutory benefits are not sufficient, families with many children or single parents, for example, can receive special support from the Landesstiftung. The benefits are voluntary and are awarded according to individual need. We will check the individual requirements for an application with you and support you in the application process.

The maternity benefit corresponds to your net salary and is paid pro rata by your health insurance fund and employer during the maternity protection period. Further information can be found in the following links.

Studying or vocational training with a child is possible with organizational talent, support and good advice - for example from the Office for Educational Support at the District Office, university advice centres or the Studierendenwerk.
