Pro Juventute Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how Pro Juventute Support provides counseling and financial aid to help families in crisis navigate difficult times.

Pro Juventute Support is a program designed to assist families in Switzerland who are facing difficult circumstances. It provides both emotional guidance and monetary help to support children in need.

Who it's for

This support is specifically intended for families in crisis. This means the program is aimed at those navigating sudden or overwhelming life challenges that impact the well-being of the household and its youngest members.

What you get

The scheme offers two main types of assistance to help stabilize a family's situation. First, you can access professional counseling to help manage the emotional and mental challenges that often accompany a crisis. Second, the program provides financial aid for children, offering monetary assistance to help cover essential needs during periods of hardship.

What it costs you

There is no cost to access these services. The counseling and the financial aid provided through this scheme are offered without a fee to the families who qualify.

The catch to know

It is important to understand that this program is designed to function as a safety net rather than a permanent solution. It is meant to provide temporary relief during a crisis and is not intended to be a primary or long-term source of household income.

  2. Contact Pro Juventute to discuss your specific situation and explain the needs of your children.
  3. Work with the organization to identify whether you require counseling services, financial aid, or both.
