Get advice on health in working life

At the House for Health and Work, you, as a person with health or mental health problems, receive advice and support.

Detailed description

The House for Health and Work is a place where you can receive support if you have health or mental health issues that affect your working life. Various institutions work together there. This collaboration enables us to offer you comprehensive, personalized support.


For example, if you're experiencing difficulties at work or fear losing your job due to health problems, you can contact the Center for Health and Work. If you're unemployed and struggling to find a new job due to mental health issues, you're in the right place.


At the Center for Health and Work, you will receive advice and coaching tailored to your personal needs and covering a variety of topics: individual health and work coaching, psychological counseling, health and social counseling, advice on rehabilitation services, and support with reintegration into work. Group programs, such as stress management, and discussions with people who have had similar experiences are also part of the service.


The aim is to identify and prevent impending incapacity for work at an early stage.
