Improving Youth Home Care and Services

The Moderate Party has questioned the Social Services Committee about Rebeckahemmet, a youth home for girls with psychosocial problems, following media reports of serious deficiencies, including numerous suicide attempts. The City of Stockholm had six girls placed there in both 2024 and 2025. Social Services acknowledges challenges within SiS care but states that work is underway to address bed shortages and improve care. The city also highlights its own initiatives with new HVB homes and aftercare projects aimed at reducing the need for SiS placements.
