Make a difference. Every day.

The Forensic Psychiatry Division is part of the Administration of Psychiatry, Rehabilitation, and Assistive Devices and consists of forensic psychiatric units in Malmö, Trelleborg, Helsingborg, Hässleholm, and Kristianstad. We currently have approximately 300 employees and care for individuals sentenced by a court to forensic psychiatric care. Many suffer from psychotic disorders, multiple disabilities with functional impairments, and substance abuse. Secondary complications such as lack of formal education, social isolation, and exclusion are common. The goal of forensic psychiatric care is to rehabilitate and habilitate individuals suffering from severe mental disorders to lead a daily life in society with increased psychosocial functioning and reduced risk of reoffending.

Outpatient care in Malmö is responsible for the rehabilitation and habilitation of patients sentenced to forensic psychiatric care when inpatient care is no longer deemed necessary. Here, we work in teams consisting of registered nurses and assistant nurses, with doctors, psychologists, occupational therapists, and social workers attached to the team. In our work, we strive for close collaboration with Social Services and other psychiatric units in network work surrounding our patients. We also work proactively with home visits to follow up on our patients. We practice person-centered care and are implementing our new working method based on the Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (F-ACT) model.
