Social guidance at the activity centres for informal care

Social instructors support informal care families by, for example, providing information about services and helping them fill in applications.

The social instructors of the activity centres for informal care are available at the informal care activity centres by appointment. You can book an appointment at your convenience by calling a social instructor.

The social instructor will provide you with information on the services offered to informal care families, help filling in the applications and discussion support.

You can find the social instructor's contact information and office hours on the website of each activity centre for informal care.

We provide this service in Finnish only.
