Support for families and child welfare
Maternity and child welfare clinics support couples in having children and the development of children. Child welfare clinics can provide help in problems with child guidance. Local authorities are also responsible for health care and for different support services aimed at families. The churches and different organisations also offer support, advice and services, for example in family crises or even in arranging short-term child care.
