About Rebecka SiS Youth Residential Home Rebecka admits non-compulsory school-age girls, ages 16-21, with psychosocial problems, criminality, and substance abuse who are in compulsory care under LVU and require treatment. Rebecka has five departments with different mandates. Assessment work is conducted by psychologists, assessment secretaries, teachers, and nurses, and when the assignment requires it, child psychiatrists. Young people placed at Rebecka have at least one contact person to turn to during their stay. The contact person leads the planning and design of the treatment plan together with the girl, social services, and the girl's network. Contact persons also conduct structured conversations with the girls every week. They are also part of the assessment team in assessment placements and participate in the treatment interventions provided in the treatment departments. At Rebecka, we conduct treatment work using methods such as Relapse Prevention (ÅP), Aggression Replacement Training (ART), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Treatment is conducted both in groups and individually. All girls have an individual treatment plan based on the girl's needs and the social services assignment. The institution works from a low-arousal approach. The girls most often have very complex problems in the form of trauma, substance abuse, antisocial behavior, personality disorders, and neuropsychiatric difficulties of various kinds. Our assignment is to provide the girls with better conditions for a socially functioning life without substance abuse, criminality, or other norm-breaking behavior.
