Advice at RPTU
You don't know whether you can care for a relative at home or whether a care home is the better alternative? Do you need advice because you want to reconcile caring at home with your work activities at RPTU? Are you looking for support because your working environment does not take enough account of additional care tasks?
The Family Service Office will be happy to support you in clarifying your ideas about possible forms of care or if there is friction in your everyday working life at the university.
When & where: By appointment at the Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Family Office, Kaiserslautern office
