In crisis situations, we can be contacted at short notice by telephone and/or in person during our office hours. Our service hours are:
Monday to Thursday from 08:30 to 15:00
and Fridays from 08:30 to 13:00

We treat crises with high priority and, depending on the resources available, will contact you on the same day or the following day at the latest. The emergency counseling service also provides support in acute crises.

If children and young people are in need, if they are neglected or abused, they are dependent on the support of adults. If you become aware of any indications of such child endangerment, you can contact the responsible social area team of the Children, Youth and School Department (Youth Welfare Office) directly or contact experts via the child protection hotline on 0241/432-5151.

If you would like to learn more about this topic, we recommend tomoni.schools 

The tomoni.schools study is a cooperation project of the Clinic and Polyclinic for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy at the University Hospital of Würzburg. At tomoni.schools, teachers learn to recognize signs of mental illness in pupils, address them in an appreciative manner and refer pupils and their families to an appropriate support system. Teachers take part in a total of eight online modules (1.5-2h). The modules each contain a part on knowledge transfer about mental illness and a part on empowerment (teaching strategies and practicing them in role plays) for dealing with at-risk or already mentally ill young people.

Topics of the modules are:

• Basic module (introduction to the topic of students' mental health, legal basics, basics of care structures)
• Depression
• Anxiety disorder
• Eating disorder
• Suicidal tendencies
• Self-harming behavior
• Addiction
• Parent meeting
