Cooperation between children and young people in Aneby
KSSB is granted funds for the project Cooperation children and youth in Aneby, with the goal of strengthening children and youth's mental health, community, and school attendance. The project targets students in all schools in the municipality and is particularly focused on reaching young people in vulnerability, with an emphasis on girls where mental health issues have increased the most in recent years according to Region Jönköping's public health survey.
About the project
The project is based on a broad collaboration between school, leisure activities, outpatient care, the Church of Sweden, the business community, and civil society. The initiative is carried out with support from Astrid Lindgren's hometown.
