The normal everyday life of mothers and fathers includes an enormous variety of tasks that need to be managed. Families with young children and/or single parents often lack opportunities to relax and unwind. If other burdens such as work, further education or illness are added to this, the result is often physical and mental exhaustion.

Mother/father-child cures, which are a compulsory benefit provided by health insurance companies, can help here. In principle, all women and men with family responsibilities are entitled to a medical preventive or rehabilitation measure if the medical necessity is certified by a doctor. The application is submitted to the health insurance company.
