Stillasbyggerne is a team consisting of psychologists and experts on child protection services. Our organisational base is Akershus University Hospital.

We provide both mental help services and environmental support for children and youth living in foster homes or child protection institutions.

We provide expert councelling to the child protection services, and support the staff an leaders with problem analysis and advices to select the best fitted and varietys of measures for the children under their care. We call what we do a "scaffolding process", which means that we try to engage the right people as close as possible to the child, and that the helpers – private persons or professionals – must work together to reach the common goals:

  1. To find and help children under the care of child protection services with problems

  2. Contribute to increase the quality of life for the children

  3. Contribute to improve the collaboration between child protection services and all the other private and professional helpers.

Our target group is children and youth between the age of 0 and 25, living in foster care or institutions.
