Professional Support Services

Tukiluotsi’s professional support services are intended for youth in child welfare who need adult support and guidance. We provide the young person with a safe and trustworthy adult outside the family who helps them discover their strengths and strengthen their life management skills.

At the core of our work is a confidential relationship between the support person and the youth. We also collaborate with the family and the youth's network. The content of the service is planned together with the social worker and the youth, taking into account the youth’s individual needs and life situation – the youth is always at the center.

Professional support services are versatile, activity-based, and aim to enhance the youth’s functional capacity. Activities may include supportive discussions, help with school attendance, strengthening self-esteem and social skills, and supporting family relationships and communication. Support is provided both in the youth’s immediate environment and in activities outside the home.

At Tukiluotsi, we want to walk alongside the youth and support their positive growth and development.
