Life

Being new in a country brings many questions, especially as a teenager or young adult. School, education, work, leisure, and everyday life often operate differently than one is used to. In Liechtenstein, there are various services and points of contact that support the arrival process.

The "aha" is a contact point for teenagers and young adults in Liechtenstein.

It supports them with information, advice, and participatory opportunities.

The five main areas of the "aha" are:

• Youth Information

• Youth Participation

• Youth Projects

• Consultation and Coaching

• Voluntary Social Year (FSJ)

The aha helps young people to orient themselves, become active, and implement their own ideas – whether in school, profession, leisure, or internationally. Additionally, it provides rooms and infrastructure (PC, printer, etc.).

The Open Youth Work (OJA) Liechtenstein provides teenagers with meeting points, support, and leisure activities.

There are youth meeting places in several municipalities where young people can meet and spend time together. They can carry out their own projects (e.g., music, media, workshops) and receive support from professionals when they have questions, problems, or ideas. The goal is for young people to become independent and develop their strengths.

School social work is a free support service directly in schools and serves as a point of contact for those who need help or someone to talk to.

• It helps students with personal, social, or academic problems

• It also advises parents and teachers

• The goal is to support teenagers in growing up and solving problems

• The service is easily accessible and confidential

The Office for Social Services ensures that children and adolescents are well supported and protected.

This includes, among other things:

• Child and Youth Welfare:

  Support for families and intervention when the well-being of children is at risk

• Protection of children and adolescents:

  Measures to ensure they grow up safely and are protected from dangers

• Promotion of child and youth work:

  Support for leisure activities, projects, and organizations for young people

Additionally, the Office for Social Services is responsible for addiction prevention. Addiction prevention is the central point for everything related to preventing addiction (e.g., alcohol, drugs, media).

ROKJ is an association that supports children and young people who have fewer financial or social opportunities. They specifically promote talents and skills (e.g., school, sports, music). The aim is to provide long-term support so that young people can develop well. One can submit a request that will be examined. The money is used directly for the purpose (e.g., course, club) and is not paid out.
