Our departments primarily serve patients who have been placed in care under the Forensic Psychiatric Care Act (LRV). Many of the patients we care for have serious mental health issues.

The goal of forensic psychiatric care is to rehabilitate and restore patients to life in society with improved psychosocial functioning and reduced risk of reoffending. We are committed to ensuring safe and sustainable discharge to minimize the risk of recidivism. Working on a care unit provides the opportunity to work long-term with patients alongside a professional nursing assistant team and nursing colleagues.
