Alta Municipality has its own office for children, young people and families, which offers a range of services aimed at supporting and helping families in the municipality. The office focuses on early intervention for children and young people who need help, and offers, among other things, parenting courses aimed at improving upbringing and communication. Child welfare services are also an important part of the offer, with the aim of protecting vulnerable children.
In addition to child welfare, the office offers educational-psychological services (PPT) and speech therapy for special educational assistance. It actively works on recruiting foster homes for children in need of temporary care. The office also shares current news and information about local initiatives, and celebrates success stories such as the vocational certificate scheme, which helps to strengthen the competence of young people in the municipality.
