Finland\u2019s prenatal and child health clinics are a success story built upon the idea that preventive care is the best care. Thriving children are more likely to become thriving adolescents and, later, adults. When we support children during their growth period and help families take care of their children, we lay the foundations for well-being in the community.<\/p>\n
Our public child health clinics are supplemented by student welfare services in schools and higher education, and by child protection services. We want child clinics to continue offering services beyond the age of six. Maternity care must be protected from further cuts, and there must be space in maternity wards for all those who need it. \u00a0Support for families and parents with children generates a feeling of safety and prevents problems. Mental health care, particularly for young people, must be prioritized, and cooperation and information exchanges between municipal schools and the student welfare provided by the wellbeing services counties must be functional.<\/p>\n
