As customers of child welfare, your family may receive family rehabilitation services. In the family rehabilitation services, the child welfare customer and their family will be given intense support to take home or as institution-like family rehabilitation for the whole family.

Family rehabilitation is intense, multi-professional support to support parenthood and interaction in the family, for instance. Practising everyday skills and establishing a regular day rhythm, for example, are part of family rehabilitation.
