Frühe Hilfen Magdeburg is a family-support network coordinated by the Magdeburg Youth Welfare Office and bringing together local organisations and public services. It helps expectant parents, families with young children, professionals and other interested people find information, guidance and practical support for a good start in family life. Its services cover pregnancy through a child’s third year, with topics including health and nutrition, parenting and development, social connection, and physical activity.

Families can explore pregnancy counselling, baby welcome visits, parent-and-child meetups, family midwives, exercise courses and support from a crying-baby clinic, alongside further local resources. The website also provides a Baby Wiki, an overview and search function for local services, useful links and event listings. Its partner network includes counselling services, family centres, child-protection organisations, early-intervention providers and health and social-care services.

Through this collaborative approach, Frühe Hilfen Magdeburg supports children’s healthy development and helps strengthen parents, particularly when they face difficult circumstances. It also shares information and training opportunities for professionals working in child protection
