Social Services Guidance

We support young adults who have been taken into care or in foster care for more than six months. We help them with issues of independence and being an adult after foster care. Our service is voluntary for young people.

We offer you help with living arrangements and independent living, such as buying an apartment and managing your everyday life. In addition, we help you in matters related to their health and maintaining social relationships. We advise on financial matters and support applications, and we also help with matters related to studies, job search and life planning. We support you in different challenges of life. We also offer your parents support for parenting.

Child welfare aftercare can continue until you turn 23. If necessary, we will then refer you to other services.

Conditions for receiving the Service

Child welfare aftercare teams provide a service for young people aged 18-23 who are becoming independent after foster care. Children who return from foster care as minors to live with their family are also entitled to aftercare when it has been less than five years since the child welfare client relationship ended. We can also provide aftercare in other situations on special grounds.

The service is free of charge.
