Family work
We offer support and guidance in various situations in life and even in minor concerns early on.
Family work is part of the family centre's family social work services. A family centre is a set of services where your family can find services that promote well-being, health, growth and development as well as early support, care and rehabilitation services and special services for children, young people and families. The aim of the family work is to strengthen your resources and improve your family's interaction. The objective of the service is to provide your family with support and guidance according to your life situation and in minor concerns early on. Family work supports you in promoting your family's well-being and strengthening your parenting. Family work is carried out at your home or in other meeting places that are natural for you, such as in parks and open day-care centres. The work combines practical help with psycho-social support. Family work provides you with discussion support and guidance for your parenting e.g.: - in relation to the upbringing of children - in challenges related to the family members' interaction - to strengthen managing daily routines at home - to activate your family's social networks to support your child and your entire family. Plans for the implementation of family work support are drawn up together with your family.
