The Blue Cross Residential Center in Fredrikstad is a residential and residential counseling service established on behalf of the Fredrikstad municipality. The center is aimed at people with substance abuse, mental health challenges and other psychosocial problems. The target group includes individuals who often lack a permanent place to live, which is a prerequisite for being able to handle other life challenges.
During their stay, residents receive follow-up through residential counseling, practical assistance and access to social meeting places. The center emphasizes organizing activities both indoors and outdoors, with a focus on the residents' individual needs. Through this approach, the Blue Cross Residential Center works to increase the sense of mastery and the quality of life of each resident.
