How Familystart supports families under pressure

Midwives providing home care may encounter families in stressful situations. To help these families quickly, Familystart provides low-threshold counseling and financial support via a hardship fund. This program is called “SORGSAM – Support am Lebensstart”. It is financed in part by the Christoph Merian Stiftung and the Gesundheitsdepartement Basel-Stadt.
