Skellefteå Municipality has a parental counsellor affiliated to each of the municipality’s family centres, in Anderstorp in Skellefteå, in Boliden, Byske and in Ursviken. The service is free and is aimed at pregnant women and couples and parents of children up to 6 years of age.
How can a parental counsellor support you?
No subject is too small or large to address; sometimes we all need support in our parental role. As a parent, you will have many questions and concerns about your child, perhaps concerning their development or upbringing. Conversations might even deal with your current life situation, such as your parental role, relationships or practical issues. In brief, anything that affects you. We believe that if you feel good as a parent, your child will feel good.
So, how does it work?
Many parents are put in touch with a parental counsellor via their midwife or paediatric nurse but, of course, you are welcome to contact us directly. Parental counselling is part of the municipality’s open activities, meaning that no investigation or referral is required before you can access the support. We have a duty of confidentiality and do not keep records. Meetings may take place in one of our family centres, in central Skellefteå, in your home or over the telephone. Advice and support is available quickly when you feel you need it.
Who are we?
Parental counsellors are trained social workers with many years of experience of parental support. We are also parents of grown-up children, so we have encountered the challenges presented by parenthood and understand day-to-day family life and experiences during a child’s upbringing.
Contact us
We attend family centres during certain open preschool times. You can also reach us Monday to Friday during office hours by telephone or email via customer service. Telephone: 0910-73 50 00; Email: kundtjanst@skelleftea.se
Skellefteå Municipality offers a wide range of support for parents. In addition to individual counselling, we also offers various series of meetings for parents, all with the aim of providing support in your parenting.
The family centres are a collaboration between Skellefteå municipality and Region Västerbotten.
