About the work

Preparing children and young people for the future requires early interventions and the sharing and spreading of successful methods.

The initiative will support the municipalities' work by initiating, setting up, and launching projects, as well as building, packaging, and disseminating knowledge and lessons learned. The work focuses on scaling up and broadening the ongoing efforts based on the municipalities' needs in two broad areas: the mental health of children and young people and meaningful leisure activities. The work will include, among other things:

• Strengthening the structure for collaboration, dialogue, and anchoring around the area of children's and young people's mental health, within the municipal association and between the municipal association and the municipalities, as well as other partners such as, for example, the Primary Care Collaboration.
• Driving development processes at the sub-regional level for enhanced collaboration regarding children and young people to promote mental health and counteract mental illness.
• Strengthening collaboration between actors working for and influencing children's and young people's meaningful leisure in Sjuhärad.
