"Right care and service at the right time. It is humane and saves money."
I am a local politician in Espoo and a deputy member of the Western Uusimaa welfare area. Closest to my heart are especially children, young people, and families, as well as the most vulnerable in our society. Everyone should receive the care and service they need, regardless of who they are and where they live. And they should be able to receive it in Swedish as well.
I have always worked in health promotion for children, young people, and families, and previously also specifically in substance abuse prevention and promoting mental health. In all these issues, and many more, I see that the third sector and associations have a very important role, which should be strengthened – not weakened and cut down. We build welfare best through balanced cooperation between the public, private, and third sectors.
I am also active in different associations and an advocate for equality. What I do, I do wholeheartedly and fully. You can trust that.
Important political topics
Thriving children, adolescents and families
We need to invest heavily in counseling services and family work to build a good foundation for everyone. Additionally, school health care must be functional and accessible to all. We cannot save here if we want today's children and young people to be well and get a good start in life.
Mental Health
Mental health is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. It affects everything: health, well-being, relationships, studies, work, and life as a whole.
Workforce productivity is closely linked to mental health, and good mental health of the population contributes to the success of the entire society.
Accessible health care
Everyone should receive the care and service they need, regardless of who they are and where they live. And they should be able to receive it in Swedish as well.
Accessibility can mean different things to different residents. For some, it is about local services where it is easy to get to a physical reception, while for others it may be about quick digital solutions that work, for example, from the couch at home.
We must be able to offer versatile solutions to reach everyone in the right way at the right time.
