[Differential indication and interventions in early support systems for young families].

Networks of support for young families are established nationwide in Germany in the last years. It is shown that a coordinated approach--in the cooperation between health system and youth welfare system--is very important. The different programs to promote parental educational competencies or to foster parent-child-interaction should be integrated in these systems. This article presents the results of the evaluation of one specific regional network ("Netzwerk Frühe Hilfen im Ortenaukreis", Baden-Württemberg); the differential interventions were focused. Three different types of families could be identified empirically and it was possible to describe specific professional intervention strategies for these family-types.
