Description

The forensic psychiatry unit in NU Health Care is situated in fine and operationally adapted premises at Brinkåsen in Vänersborg.

The forensic psychiatry unit at Brinkåsen currently consists of five care departments with different focuses based on psychiatric diagnoses. Common to all care departments is that our patients are sentenced to closed forensic psychiatric care.

Our mission is to increase the patient's mental health through care and treatment. Our goal is to make the patient more involved in their care. Individualizing care interventions increases the chances for the patient to gain control over their illness and thus prevent relapse into criminal activity. We work in care teams consisting of mixed professions.

In addition to nursing staff, there are other competencies and professions in the facility that support our care processes with the aim of achieving our treatment goals.
