Fam­i­ly Sup­port

Humboldt-University Berlin regards all relationships as family, where persons take long-term social responsibility for relatives or partners. All parent-child relationships – including single parents, patchwork families and rainbow families – as well as siblings and matrimonial or similar relationships are included.

We support and advise you in your search for individual solutions in relation to family, studies, career and caring for relatives. If you have any questions or need help or information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will treat your enquiry confidentially. Counselling is available in German and English. We can also put you in touch with other internal and external counselling centres. If you need further assistance - for example a translation into German sign language - please let us know while coordinating the appointment.

The Family Support Office is also the office of the Family-Friendly University Commission (KFH). It delegates two voting members to the commission, which plays a key role in driving forward the HU's family-friendly strategy.

On the page of the Family Support Office you will find information on all measures taken by the university to promote the compatibility of studies, career and family.
