The Börde district has been offering independent advice for young people with disabilities and their families since July 2025.
Process guides in the Börde district: New opportunities for young people with disabilities!
Since July 1, 2025, the Börde district has launched a new advisory service that is specifically intended to support young people with (imminent) disabilities and their families. This service is provided by the Youth Welfare Office and aims to offer independent advice and support. The process guide, Ms. Anke Kählert, is available as a contact person to help those affected assert their rights and entitlements to integration assistance and rehabilitation assistance. As landkreis-boerde.de reports, the offer aims to facilitate access to help and promote equal participation in social life.
In practice, this means that Ms. Kählert supports the families throughout the entire application and approval process if this is desired. Your commitment not only promises legal clarity, but also significant relief for those affected. The youth welfare office’s contact details and further information can be found on the district’s website.
Legal framework for support
The initiative is part of a broader legal framework linked to Section 10b SGB VIII, which came into force on January 1, 2024. It regulates support for young people with disabilities and their legal representatives. Process guides not only offer support with the application, but also ensure that all relevant integration assistance services can be used. According to moses-online.de it is important to know that the services are independent and aim to promote the rights of those affected.
A significant advantage of this system is that foster parents are also entitled to support from procedural guides. As legal guardians, you are able to apply for social benefits for your foster children. These innovations underline the commitment of public youth welfare to create an inclusive climate that offers all young people equal opportunities - regardless of their personal challenges.
Insights into practical implementation
The process guides also work closely with the local public youth welfare agency to document experiences and challenges. Reports on cooperation with other agencies and rehabilitation providers are carried out every six months. This strategy not only improves communication, but also ensures continuous adaptation to needs and requirements.
All of these steps are part of a larger process of separating specialist integration assistance services from social assistance, a significant legal change that has already been in force since January 1, 2020. This means that integration assistance is no longer part of the social benefits (SGB XII), which promotes financing and the creation of suitable support structures.
In summary, it can be said that the new process pilot service is a valuable addition to supporting young people with disabilities in the Börde district. This initiative not only strives for equal participation in social life, but actively promotes it. Those interested can contact Ms. Kählert via the Börde Youth Welfare Office, where the contact details can be found on the district website.
