Child and youth care workers are under extreme pressure, many are throwing in the towel, new staff are hard to find: Politicians are now being called upon to do so, otherwise the system is in danger of collapsing.
A desperate child who simply can no longer stay with his family – because it is too dangerous there. Calls to various aid organizations, often without result and with rejections: No, unfortunately we do not have any space available. “We still have to decide what to do with the child. In some cases, the last option is to get in the car and drive to another state. If there is still capacity there exceptionally.”
When social workers – better known as child and youth care – talk about their daily work lives, it quickly becomes clear how stressful, demanding and high-pressure the job is. The well-being of girls and boys must be their priority. Verbal attacks and even threats from parents are often unavoidable.
