Your Workplace

The psychiatric outpatient care in the county consists of six clinics and should, as far as possible, be viewed as part of primary healthcare.

The mission of the activity is to assess, investigate, and treat patients with mental illness and mental disabilities. In addition to individual treatment work, team collaboration and cooperation with municipalities and other actors in the care chain are included.

Within the psychiatric clinic in Arvika, nurses, doctors, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, care assistants, therapists, and healthcare administrators work together. Working hours are daytime, Monday to Friday.

We conduct various types of group therapy in collaboration between different professional categories, something we wish to develop further. Here, you will find good conditions for team collaboration in treatment and investigation.
