Model for
Fountain House
Jämtland
Härjedalen

About the project

The project is about establishing a so-called Fountain House, the northernmost in Sweden. The purpose is to enable rehabilitation, strengthen competence, and increase employability for women and men with mental health issues. The goal of the project is to create and develop a model for rehabilitation and work training. More people in the target group should come closer to the labor market through the project's activities. The meeting place that is created should contribute to counteracting mental health issues by providing opportunities for recovery, rehabilitation, and work training.
