Hamburg (dpa / lno) - In the future, job seekers can take advantage of a new social counseling service in the Hamburg job centers.

From February 1, this offer will initially be available at twelve locations, as the Hamburg social authority announced on Sunday.

In addition to financial challenges, job seekers often have to struggle with health or psychological problems, according to the press release.

“Sometimes there isn't just one problem, but several problems come together, making the situation overwhelming.

Then sometimes uncomplicated advice helps.

There is now the new social counseling, ”said Social Senator Melanie Leonard (SPD).

The offer can be used by all people who are registered with the job center.

According to the authority, the aim of social counseling is to stabilize and strengthen job seekers.

The introduction of the new advisory services in the job centers is part of the Senate's corona labor market program, which is intended to mitigate the negative consequences of the corona pandemic.
