Welcome to Us

HVB Kärrarp is organized within the municipality's Individual and Family Care. The target group is girls aged 13–20 with psychosocial issues, behavioral problems, and/or neuropsychiatric disabilities. The residence has seven places and one emergency place, with placements supported by SoL or LVU. We operate around the clock and currently have awake night staff and a sleeping on-call service overnight, along with 2-3 staff during the day and evening, as well as a coordinator and unit manager.

The operation is based on a systems-theoretical foundation and a health-promoting approach. What already works should be utilized. Great emphasis is placed on social skills training, work with families and networks, and a functioning school attendance. The operation has a clear focus on creating good relationships between youth and staff. Being understood, listened to, and taken seriously is seen as a prerequisite for change to occur. The youth should encounter a predictable structure, intensity in treatment, and constant adult presence.
