Family Midwives.
The family midwife takes care of pregnant women, young families, or single parents, who are in a difficult situation. She will visit you at home and show you how to feed your baby correctly and what needs your baby has. She also informs you of who you can turn to in case you have problems. Family midwives accompany families and children up to the first birthday of the child, in order to ensure a smooth start to your new life.

- Families with low socioeconomic status
- Families with premature infants
- Burdens or illnesses
- Families with addiction problems
- Families with domestic violence situation
- Families with a migration background and lack of integration into the health system
- Chronic diseases in the family
- Women/partners with mental health problems
Main focuses of the work are:
- Advice for all circumstances around the birth of a child
- Promoting the parent-child-relationship
- Observation of the child's development
- Advice and guidance regarding age-appropriate nutrition, care, and support
- Accompaniment to doctors and offices and support for participation in screening and prevention measures for mother and child
- Integration of the family in existing group offers
