EVIM Connect app

The EVIM Youth Welfare CONNECT APP is for all children and young people who are supported by EVIM Youth Welfare, their parents and relatives, and for all former clients. Former clients and parents/guardians have their own area. The app offers a wealth of information about opportunities for participation, complaints, children's rights, and tips on a wide range of useful topics, such as becoming independent.

The app also offers an internal chat area where children and young people can chat with each other, with staff, and with the entire facility. The EVIM Jugendhilfe app also allows all users to be contacted directly for queries, participation, and information.
