More help and support

Do you need more guidance and support in your parenting?

Regions and municipalities both offer support for parents, but the type of support they offer may differ slightly depending on the age of the child and where you live. The following services may be useful to contact as a first step:

• Child Health Services (Barnavårdscentralen, BVC)
• The student health team at your child’s school (counselor, psychologist, school nurse, special education teacher)
• Most municipalities offer parenting support. There are often parenting courses, parent consultants and parenting groups. Some municipalities have family centers or a family house. Contact your municipality or visit their home page and they will help you.

There are also other organizations that offer support and information:
