New advisory location in Judenburg: Support in times of crisis

In Judenburg, a new location of youth (JAW) was opened, which is housed in a former bank branch. This step aims to meet the need for psychotherapeutic support in the region. Jaw offers help with life crises, fears and depression. Particular attention is paid to the needs of clients who are entitled to free consultations through their psychiatric diagnoses, provided that they are insured with the ÖGK, BVAEB or SVS.

Sandra Schimmler, the managing director of Jugend at Styria plant, explained that the new contact point at the Judenburger Hauptplatz should establish, which is an important step towards creating a central service offer. She draws a clear focus on the past mobile offers as well as early help for pregnant women and young parents who are already in the area.

strategic choice of the location

The choice of the vacant bank branch as the new location fits into the strategy of improving regional care and at the same time counteracting vacancy. Elke Florian, the mayor of Judenburg, emphasizes the advantages of a better supply network for various target groups, including young families, people with mental illnesses and people with disabilities. This redesigned offer aims to increase the quality of life in the region.

Hannes Schwarz, club chairman of the Styrian SPÖ, emphasizes that it is essential to create low -threshold and regional offers in order to stretch a dense social network over Styria. This ensures that help and support are accessible to everyone. In the Murtal, Jaw already shows presence through mobile services that deal with the respective customer needs, as Birgit Gaberschek, the head of the mobile services of youth at the work in the Murtal, explains.

The new location thus represents an important expansion of the offer and supports the mission of youth at work at working people in difficult situations. The opening of this center is perceived as an impressive sign of the support of mental health and the well -being of the community in Judenburg and the surrounding area.
