The Co-Fam project

This research project aims to create a coherent model for family support in schools, primary care and specialist care to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent and treat overweight and obesity. The goal is for all children and their families to receive support at an early stage in order to reduce the risk of chronic diseases in the long term.

About the project and the model

Co-Fam

The Co-Fam model combines the family support programmes A Healthy School Start and More and Less. Together, the programmes aim to increase knowledge about healthy lifestyles and to, at an early stage, identify families in need of extra support to offer them the right treatment. The model emphasises collaboration between actors and focuses on the family.
