About Us

The Psychiatric Specialist Clinic Young Adults is a clinic that works across diagnoses with the assessment and treatment of young adults aged 18–23. We work based on regional care programs with a broad perspective. Collaboration with family, next of kin, as well as care partners, social services, job centers for young adults, and districts is of great importance. The clinic is HBTQI-certified.

We are organized into several multiprofessional treatment teams consisting of doctors, psychologists, nurses, administrators, counselors, physiotherapists, and rehab coordinators. Our clinics offer a broad and varied range of care with different treatment methods.

The IPS Young Adults project belongs to Psychiatry Stockholm South through the Psychiatric Specialist Clinic Young Adults. The project is a collaboration between Stockholm Psychiatry South, the Stockholm City Employment Administration, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, and Stockholm City. The project is funded by the Stockholm City Coordination Association (FINSAM). The project runs until 2028-12-31. Within the project, we support individuals with complex psychiatric issues, which often pose challenges in receiving treatment interventions from psychiatry.
