About Barnahus
Barnahus, or a “Children’s House,” is a multidisciplinary, child-friendly service that brings key services together who have legal responsibilities to help children who are, or who may be, victims or witnesses of violence. It provides a safe environment and an integrated process where child protection, criminal investigation, and physical health and therapeutic support services are coordinated and undertaken under one roof. Tailored to each child’s unique needs, this integrated approach reduces the burden of navigating multiple systems and prevents (re)traumatization. Ultimately, Barnahus ensures children receive their rights to justice, protection, and care.
