Laholm Municipality has chosen to focus on early preventive work, and within the social services, there is therefore a Youth Team consisting of four full-time positions that work proactively towards young people throughout the municipality. The Youth Team's primary target group is young people aged 10–18, but other ages may also be included in various assignments. The Youth Team works both proactively, preventively, and health-promotingly.
