Collaborative extended home-visits as a key to facilitating early support within the frame of a family centre in Sweden

The extended home-visits were appreciated and experienced as useful by all participants. That a family centre organization already existed was one of the facilitators, functioning as a meeting point to expand the collaboration. The managers' support was essential, and it was experienced as positive that the organization invested resources to allow employees to participate in the development of the extended home-visit programmes. This way of working has the potential to add value for the children and families, and the CHS would benefit from using the extended home-visit programme further.
