Your responsibilities As a family support consultant with us, you offer help and support to individuals who contact the Family Support Center. A family member can be a parent, partner, child, sibling, or friend. A family member does not need to live in Linköping Municipality to receive support or help.

We converse with and support family members who feel worried about a loved one or perhaps need support themselves to cope. Through massage and health-promoting activities, the aim is to alleviate worry and stress and enable the individual to achieve increased relaxation, rest, and recovery. We also offer bereavement support for family members who are in crisis and grief and who have lost a loved one and need someone to talk to. We reach out to all family members over 18 years of age who need support, regardless of whether your loved one has a specific diagnosis. Support conversations do not always have to take place in person; we also offer contact via telephone and digital meetings. The purpose of the various services we provide is to start from the current life situation of the participant in the conversations, where participants can also exchange experiences and support with other participants in group activities.
