The work is based on Robust, Kirkens Bymisjon’s counselling service for children and young people, which is currently operated in central Oslo.
Funding from Kavli Trust will contribute to a pilot project aimed at establishing a collaborative platform between Kirkens Bymisjon’s existing counselling service for children and young people in Oslo, called Robust, and local stakeholders in the Stovner district.
The initiative will take place within the framework of the Oslo Initiative, a joint project launched by Ferd Sosiale Entreprenører.
Robust is well known in Oslo’s schools, school health services, and the district health teams for children and young people. In this project, Robust’s expertise and approach will be used to complement and strengthen existing services and support.
