Early Childhood Interventions Programme in Austria

Since 2015, regional networks for early childhood interventions (called "Frühe-Hilfen-Netzwerke") have been widespread in Austria. Implementation is based on the Austrian model for early childhood interventions (called "Frühe Hilfen") developed by the Austrian National Public Health Institute (GÖG) on the basis of international findings and systematic analysis of practical experience.

The main objective of the Austrian model is to reach and support families in need (due to stressful living conditions or circumstances) during pregnancy or in the first three years of a child. “Frühe Hilfen” follows a multi-professional as well as multi-sectoral approach (investing in networking esp. with services from the health and social sector) to support families in raising healthy children. The programme is a non-compulsory service and ensures access of families through direct contact and through professionals, such as health and social workers, who can identify and refer them.
