Who are we?

We are a multidisciplinary team with professionalism, quality and well-being in focus. The local psychiatry in Aabenraa consists of doctors, psychologists, nurses, social and health care assistants, an occupational therapist, as well as a social worker/care coordinator.

We are an outpatient psychiatric treatment service, treating patients according to the national treatment pathways. We are organized in 2 F-ACT teams and in addition to having our own patients in treatment, we are joint regarding patients who may need a more intensive and flexible treatment effort for a period.
