Current members

Barnahus Network Members are committed to practicing according to the Barnahus Quality Standards to the greatest extent allowed by local law, and to take incremental steps to achieving all of the Standards. It is a commitment that is not about what you call your service, but rather about the quality and impact of its practice. 

Network Membership is not an endorsement that any given Barnahus operates according to the Barnahus Quality Standards.
