HELP FOR YOUNG ADULTS

A young adult is to be given help for personal development and independent living if and as long as the help is necessary due to the individual situation of the young person. Aid is usually only granted until the child reaches the age of 21; in justified individual cases it should be continued for a limited period.
The young adult should be advised and supported to the extent necessary after the end of the help with the independence.
