Support for parenting and daily life in a familyYou can contact us if your family needs support in everyday life or if you are in a straining situation.
Read more about our services
You can contact us at a low threshold when you are seeking solutions to upbringing issues, parenting challenges or straining daily life. You do not need to know in advance what kind of help your family would benefit from.
We support you and your family in parenting and bringing up your children. Our services also include Roma family work, groups for mothers of babies at risk of depression, and sleep guidance groups for babies who sleep poorly.
Our goal is to enforce parenting and to help the family find their resources. The family social worker and the family cooperate closely to bring about change. Our services can be accessed through service needs assessment.
If your family is under strain or your life situation suddenly changes, you can get help at home. Home services aim to support the family’s own resources.
Parenting guidance and family counselling will help you in questions related to bringing up your child or adolescent, difficult life situations and crises affecting your child or family.
Couples’ therapy aims to promote the family’s well-being by improving interaction between the parents. Problems such as disagreements, infidelity, threat of separation or challenges of reconstituted families can be addressed in couples’ therapy.
If your family is in a seriously straining life situation and you think that your child and family are in need of support, contact the service needs assessment unit for families with children in your area.

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