Bufetat Vestfold Ungdomssenter Thorøya is a care institution for young people aged 13 to 18. The centre works according to a care and change model that emphasizes a high degree of user participation. This means that young people are given the opportunity to actively participate in the process of their own development and care.
The institution offers tailored help based on individual assessments, and has a standardized course divided into three phases. The goal is to provide good care and support for positive personal development, with a focus on professionally sound help at the right time. The centre also collaborates with municipal child welfare services to ensure a holistic approach to the needs of young people.
