Familjelotsen

We are here for you who are a parent or an important adult, and for children and young people who need support.

Speaking with someone outside of the family can offer new perspectives, reduce anxiety, and make it easier to manage daily life.

At Familjelotsen, you have the opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings, find your own solutions, and feel a sense of community with others in a similar situation.
