Child welfare services

Child welfare services support parents and other guardians in raising a child when the family is experiencing a crisis or is under severe strain.  We always aim to help the child and the family so that the child can continue living at home with the family. If this is not possible, the child or young person may be placed outside the home for a short or longer period. 

Does your family or child need help?

Your concerns may be related to stressful everyday life or troubles in parenting, for example. Please, do not hesitate to contact us.
