School Health Service

The School Health Service is available to students under the age of 20. You can receive advice and guidance, as well as health check-ups and vaccinations. If needed, you can be referred to a general practitioner, dentist, or specialist.

The service provides guidance on physical, mental, and sexual health and works to support students in coping with everyday life.

The School Health Service can offer courses, attend parent meetings, and, in some cases, conduct home visits.

As a student, you are free to use the School Health Service whenever you need to talk to an adult about something difficult.

The service is free of charge.
