Our Operations

The clinics have a specific mission for investigation, treatment, care, and rehabilitation for adult patients with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like conditions at a specialist psychiatric level. Here, patients receive a designated coordinator (case manager) and responsible physician. We base our work on the National Guidelines for Care and Support in Schizophrenia and Schizophrenia-like Conditions from the National Board of Health and Welfare, aiming for the patient to live as independently as possible with support and help.

Patients are offered both individual interventions and group treatments/interventions, and in addition, the clinic also provides services according to the psychiatric rehabilitation care program, social skills training, VOSS (care and support coordination), and health-promoting measures.

We value interdisciplinary work and operate in teams. Each team consists of a psychologist, specialist physician, psychiatric care specialist nurse, nurse, caregiver, occupational therapist, and social worker.

Collaboration with other healthcare providers is central, and we work with other regional and municipal actors. We also offer support to relatives.
