Midwife at Märsta Youth Clinic

In Stockholm County, there are 30 youth clinics operated in collaboration between municipalities and the Stockholm County Healthcare Region, which is responsible for the medical part of the operations.

The overarching mission of the youth clinics 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. We work health-promoting from a holistic perspective.

Märsta Youth Clinic is a smaller clinic where two midwives, two social workers, and two unit managers work in a cross-professional collaboration. We primarily work with individual visits, but an important part of the work is also to conduct outreach activities such as continuous study visits from local schools and to collaborate with other organizations. 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 here. As a team, we value our respectful, positive, and solution-oriented work climate. In that spirit, we want to continue.
