The organization Adults for Children was established in 1960 as a non-profit membership organization with a focus on children's and young people's growing up conditions and mental health. The organization works to promote coping with life and mental health in schools, and has developed specific measures for siblings of children with chronic illness. Adults for Children also engages in political issues that affect children and young people, with the aim of securing their rights and welfare.
In addition to political work, Adults for Children organizes courses, lectures and inspirational gatherings for both adults and young people. The organization develops educational programs that focus on mental health and publishes guides and films for adults, with the intention of increasing awareness and knowledge around the topics. Through its work, Adults for Children seeks to contribute to the participation and inclusion of children and young people in society.
