Strengthening families, embracing diversity, creating opportunities. Working Together for a Strong North Rhine-Westphalia.

With the new State Resource Center for Rainbow Families, the state is promoting family diversity. The center supports queer families and continues to expand support services—particularly in rural areas. At the same time, it raises awareness among professionals and counseling centers about the realities of life for rainbow families.

With its new Family Report, the state government presents a detailed assessment of the living conditions of families in North Rhine-Westphalia. It addresses key topics ranging from family diversity and education to paid work and caregiving, as well as poverty, housing, social participation, health, and coping with multiple crises.

In order to increase the uptake of the education and participation package, Familienportal.NRW provides municipalities, institutions and organizations with compact information and print materials such as posters, flyers and postcards free of charge and in multiple languages. The postcards are now also available in Arabic and Ukrainian!
