Providing services for families with children within the context of family centres

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities should take measures to ensure that services offered by municipalities for families with children are provided within the context of family centres or otherwise, in such a fashion that comprehensive collaboration with families, involving professionals from various fields, can be carried out across sectoral boundaries. The aim must be the early recognition of problems, where the flow of information is ensured and families are provided with sufficient and comprehensive support.
