The family is the most important social network in society. It ensures the upbringing of children, the economic existence of family members and the care and nursing of disabled, sick and elderly people.

Family support consists on the one hand of subsidies that benefit all families (e.g. birth allowances, child benefit) and on the other hand of benefits and assistance that are tailored to specific life situations (e.g. disability, old age).

Family assistance associations: People of all ages who need help, care, support, assistance and advice at home are supported by family assistance associations. Family assistance services can be used, for example, if the person in charge of the household is ill, after discharge from hospital or for the care and support of sick people. You can find the address of the contact point in your municipality in the social lexicon or on the websites of Familienhilfe Liechtenstein and Lebenshilfe Balzers.
