The Kringsjåtunet Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient Department is located in Lillehammer and offers specialized treatment for children and adolescents with mental health challenges. The department is part of the public health system and aims to provide health care to patients aged 0–18 years. Treatment is tailored to the individual patient's needs and can include both medical and therapeutic follow-up.
Kringsjåtunet has an interdisciplinary team consisting of psychologists, doctors, nurses and other health personnel who work together to provide a holistic approach to treatment. The department focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment for patients, where they can work on their challenges in a structured framework. Treatment can take place both individually and in groups, depending on what is most appropriate for the individual.
In addition to treatment, the department also focuses on collaboration with families and other agencies involved in the patient's life. This contributes to a better understanding of the patient's situation and can be crucial for successful treatment.
