Published on September 12, 2025

The blackberry coalition of the CDU, BSW and SPD wants to better protect children and adolescents from psychological and psychosomatic diseases.A corresponding application was decided in the state parliament in Erfurt with votes from the government coalition.According to this, the state government is intended to analyze the supply situation of the psychotherapeutic offers. It is also intended to check how existing offers of diagnostics, prevention and therapy can be strengthened.The state government should support research projects, the text says. Left MP Lena Saniye Güngör made it clear that the application is not sufficient from the left point of view."Financed steps" are needed.For example, a coordination office is missing at the state level."This also needs resources," said Güngör. BSW health politician Stefan Wogawa said that many children and young people have suffered more from fears, social withdrawal and depressed symptoms since Corona pandemic."We have to act," he said.The application is a step to improve the situation and goals primarily on prevention.
