Mini-Maria in Jämtland County is a service where the county's municipalities and region offer support interventions to youth up to 21 years old who have problems with alcohol, drugs, or gambling. The service also provides support to family members. Support is individualized and can consist of conversations, counseling, and treatment. A significant part of the work also involves consultation and collaboration with other actors who encounter the target group.
