For teens in Salzburg City and parents across the province, It helps with the first sorting step: Forum Familie for parent service, JoJo and Peers4Teens when family mental health is strained, kija/bivak/Streetwork for rights, youth support or crisis. Next step: choose the topic first, then check the matching official source.
The key separation is: Forum Familie guides parents and families through services. JoJo supports young people from families strained by mental illness. Youth-health conferences belong to participation and prevention.
Direct answer: which route fits what?
- Forum Familie: fits when parents or families need a route guide for childcare, holiday care, subsidies, grants or help and advice services.
- JoJo: fits when young people grow up with mentally ill parents or siblings and need a protected frame.
- Peers4Teens: fits when exchange with young adults matters because they know similar family strain.
- Youth health: fits as a project and participation route around psychosocial health.
- kija, bivak or Streetwork: fit when rights, youth support, housing, crisis, street situations or confidential advice are central.
Forum Familie: parent service and route guide by the province
The Province of Salzburg describes Forum Familie as a parent service in all districts. The page names childcare, holiday care, subsidies, grants, family projects, regional networking and referral to suitable help and advice services.
For SalzburgTeen, this means: Forum Familie is a parent service and route guide. If parents do not know which regional service fits, Forum Familie can help sort the route. If young people themselves need to talk about mental strain at home, rights or crisis, JoJo, kija, bivak, Streetwork or help in Salzburg are more direct.
For parents, the important point is simple: a route guide sorts the concrete question and points to the matching service.
JoJo: when family mental illness is the real topic
The official JoJo page for young people names young people and young adults with mentally ill parents or siblings. It lists individual support, Peers4Teens and a possible youth group in Salzburg City if enough young people register.
JoJo names about 15 units of 45 minutes for individual support and describes the frame as free. For Peers4Teens, JoJo names in-person or online meetings in Salzburg. For the youth group, JoJo names young people up to 17, the organization office in Salzburg City and fortnightly meetings between October and June if enough people register.
The detailed SalzburgTeen route is JoJo Salzburg for teens.
Peers4Teens: exchange at eye level
Peers4Teens describes itself as an offer by, with and for young adults who know what it is like to grow up with mentally ill parents. The page describes peer conversations as voluntary, confidential and free.
For teens, that can matter because some things are easier to discuss with people who know similar experiences. Still, the first check matters: age fit, setting, contact route, trusted support and safety have to work.
Youth health: participation and health literacy
The Province of Salzburg describes youth health conferences for young people aged 12 to 20. Topics include psychosocial health, health literacy, bullying, pressure, stress, body image and mental health. The results of youth projects are meant to become visible across the province until 2028.
SalzburgTeen should read health more broadly than crisis: there are participation routes, projects and prevention. For concrete help today, choose JoJo, kija, bivak, Streetwork, 147 or emergency services according to the situation.
District logic: keep Salzburg City and the province separate
Salzburg City
JoJo names its office at Lessingstraße 6, 5020 Salzburg. kija, bivak and Streetwork have their own Salzburg City routes. For teens in the city, a direct support route is often clearer than a province-wide parent service.
Districts and family questions
Forum Familie works through district logic. That is strong for parent questions, holiday care, regional family offers and referral. Youth-group checks run through other pages.
School and projects
Youth health can run through schools or extracurricular projects. For 12- to 20-year-olds, that is interesting when health, bullying, pressure or participation need a project frame. For urgent need, quick help still comes first.
Parent check: what to clarify before contact
- Is this about parent service, regional family questions or subsidy/holiday logic?
- Is this about mentally ill parents or siblings?
- Does the young person need confidential advice, rights clarification or crisis help?
- Is it immediately dangerous?
If it is immediately dangerous, use emergency services, 147 Rat auf Draht or a trusted adult. If the topic is family mental illness, JoJo is much more precise than a general leisure or youth-group list.
When another SalzburgTeen route is better
- For a wider help overview: support routes in Salzburg City.
- For JoJo in detail: JoJo Salzburg.
- For rights and confidential advice: help in Salzburg with kija.
- For groups and connection: youth groups in Salzburg.
Local proof
This 2026 reading is grounded because the sources show separate roles:
- Province of Salzburg: Forum Familie as parent service, route guide, subsidy and family information point.
- JoJo: individual support, Peers4Teens and possible youth group for young people from families strained by mental illness.
- Peers4Teens: voluntary, confidential and free peer conversations.
- Province of Salzburg: youth-health conferences for ages 12 to 20, psychosocial health and projects until 2028.
- internal SalzburgTeen routes through help, JoJo, support routes and youth groups.
Bottom line
Forum Familie and JoJo both matter, but for different questions. Forum Familie helps parents and families sort routes. JoJo helps young people when mental illness in the family is the background. Keeping those roles separate makes the next step safer and clearer.
