Here, we consolidate care for patients over 18 years old with psychotic disorders into one organizational unit. We offer assessment, investigation, and treatment according to national guidelines and regional care programs. Within Psykosvård Stockholm, we conduct development work, education, and research regarding psychotic disorders. We work in multidisciplinary teams to provide the best possible care and treatment around the patient.

Description

Do you want to work with young people experiencing their first episode of a psychotic disorder? Seize the opportunity! We are now looking for a temporary colleague to join our wonderful workplace – Specialist Psychiatric Clinic 6, at S:t Eriksplan.

We are an outpatient clinic for the investigation and treatment of first-episode patients with psychotic disorders within Psykosvård Stockholm.

You will also be involved in the development projects and group therapies currently ongoing at the clinic. An example is the mentorship project, where patients and relatives are trained as mentors to support other patients and relatives. FitForLife is another treatment group where patients who have received trainer education lead circle training for other patients once a week. We also have a theater project supported by the Cultural Administration, where patients are offered the opportunity to use their experience as a basis for expression through theater.
