Reception for young people

The reception for young people aims to work towards improving the quality of life and conditions of adolescents and young people by:

  • to encourage improved self-image, self-confidence and the positive social environment of adolescents,

  • to reduce premature pregnancies in young women by making contraception more accessible, together with education on sexual and reproductive ethics,

  • reduce the consequences of sexually transmitted diseases such as infertility,

  • improve mental health through increased service to those who have emotional problems, anxiety, depression and bullying,

  • reducing vaping, smoking and alcohol and drug use among young people

  • young people and adolescents know and use access to health and social services.

The reception for young people attempts to meet the needs of those who have emotional problems, anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug problems, bullying, sexually transmitted diseases or who wish to discuss contraception and sexual problems.

The reception is intended to meet the needs of those who have not considered themselves to be able to use the clinic's services in the traditional manner due to the opening hours and the effort to make an appointment.

The reception is not intended for certificate requests or general illnesses. They shall be addressed to a general practitioner.
