Student welfare experts work closely with the school, supporting students in their schooling.

The comprehensive school's student care services also include the IPC method. You will find professionals at the school who can help. The school nurse, curator or psychologist can support the young person, for example, using the IPC method, which seeks out the causes of depressive symptoms and solutions to ease the mood and situation.

The Children Speak work has been developed to support children and families in coping with major or minor changes or difficulties in everyday life.
