School social work in Neunkirchen: strong support for children!

in Ternitz, school social work is being expanded to better support students. The association "Youth Promotion Neunkirchen" has now introduced offers in the elementary schools Kreuzäckergasse and Stapfgasse. The aim of this initiative is to strengthen children's social and emotional skills. This is done through individual care and preventive measures that aim to optimally accompany the development of the children.

"We are very happy to use school social work to set an additional measure towards holistic support for our students," said SPÖ Mayor Christian Samwald. This is particularly important because the social challenges are great in today's world. One wants to ensure that the children receive the support they need, added SPÖ school councilor Michael Riedl.

Important support for parents and children

The school social worker Sabrina Ressler is not only available to the students, but also the parents. This possibility enables families to take advantage of support in difficult life situations. "There is great interest in our work," emphasizes Kathrin Weninger, the chairwoman of the association "Youth Promotion Neunkirchen". "This is another step to promote an integrative and supportive school culture," she adds.

School social work is an important program that aims to strengthen not only the students but the entire school community. The close cooperation between schools and school social work creates an environment in which children can feel comfortable and develop well. Such an offer not only supports the personal development of the children, but also contributes to improving the school climate.

The introduction of these measures in Ternitz shows how seriously it is taken that the social and emotional needs of students must be put in the foreground. School social work is a sign of the willingness of the city to face the challenges in education and to actively promote solutions.
