Support Services for Inclusive Participation
Do you have questions about integration support, personal assistance, benefits for participation, or are unsure which office is responsible for your concern? Here you will find free, independent advisory and support services across Bremen that can inform you and, if desired, accompany you through the next steps.
Procedural advisors support young people up to the age of 27 with (imminent) disability in accessing integration assistance and other benefits for participation. They help you clarify your entitlements, complete application forms, understand official decisions, and accompany you to meetings with authorities if needed.
Important: The procedural advisors responsible for you are typically those in your place of residence.
If you are studying in Bremen but live outside the city, please contact the procedural advisors in your home municipality.

Students with a disability or chronic illness may be eligible for integration assistance for participation in education, under certain conditions. These benefits aim to compensate for disadvantages arising from a disability or chronic illness and to enable a self-determined study experience.
For example, costs for personal assistance, necessary assistive devices, or other study-related support services may be covered if they are required due to a disability or chronic illness and the legal criteria are met.
Important: The responsible authority is typically your place of residence, not the location where you study. If you live outside the city of Bremen, please contact the authority responsible for your place of residence. The procedural advisors can support you in identifying which benefits may be available and which office to contact.
The information and support services listed below provide a first point of orientation. They do not claim to be exhaustive and should not replace individualized advice.
