Midwife to Haninge Youth Center

In Stockholm County, there are 30 youth centers operated in collaboration between municipalities and the Stockholm County Health Care Area (SLSO), which is responsible for the medical part of the operations.

The overall mission of the youth centers is to promote sexual and reproductive health and to prevent and detect mental health issues and social problems among young people aged 12 to 23 years. We work health-promoting on the youth's behalf from a holistic perspective.

Haninge Youth Center is located right by Handen station where the commuter trains go to Stockholm C, travel time about 25-30 minutes. Currently, there are 3 midwives, 4 social workers, 1 gynecologist, and two unit managers working at the center in a cross-professional collaboration. We primarily work with individual visits, but an important part of the work is also to conduct outreach work such as continuous study visits from local schools and to collaborate with other organizations that meet our target group. We are a low-threshold service and always strive for high accessibility. We are open Monday to Friday.

Norm awareness and diversity are important to us; all young people and all employees should feel equally welcome with us. As a workgroup, we value our respectful, positive, and solution-oriented work climate. In that spirit, we want to continue.
