headspace opens in Halsnæs Municipality

Headspace opens this fall in Frederiksværk. Here, children and young people throughout Halsnæs Municipality can get help with the problems that weigh them down in everyday life.

From September 2024, children and young people aged 12-25 years can drop by headspace Halsnæs in Frederiksværk and talk about what's going on inside them.

headspace Frederiksværk will be located in premises in central Frederiksværk on Vognmandsgade 12, 1st floor. The premises will be renovated over the summer and will be ready in September. From here, headspace will offer open, anonymous and flexible counseling for children and young people and a proactive approach at schools and educational facilities throughout Halsnæs Municipality.

The establishment of headspace is taking place in close collaboration with Halsnæs Municipality and with valuable support from Sparekassen Sjælland Fyn and Hillerød Rotary Club.

”We are pleased to support the establishment of another headspace center. This is the third center that Sparekassen Sjælland Fyn has supported. It is important for us, as a local player, to be able to support efforts to reduce the unhappiness of children and young people. We strongly believe that headspace Halsnæs can become an easy, fast and safe place to go for young people who need a chat” says Branch Manager in Frederiksværk, Irene Nielsen.

The conversations in headspace do not require an appointment and there are no medical records. This makes it as easy as possible for children and young people to talk about everything from heartbreak, sadness, anxiety, problems at school to family conflicts, etc.

”We have far too many children and young people who are unhappy all over the country. Rotary is part of a nationwide collaboration with headspace Denmark to tackle the high level of unhappiness. We are therefore very pleased to support the establishment of headspace Halsnæs, which will be a hub for early help for children and young people throughout Halsnæs Municipality” says Henrik Følbæk from Hillerød Rotary Club.

headspace Halsnæs will be open Tuesday to Thursday from 12-18. Everyone in the age group is welcome, no matter what the need is. headspace greatly appreciates the new collaboration.

”We have more than 10 years of experience in working with children and young people under pressure and come to Halsnæs with a well-developed concept for cross-sectoral collaboration with municipalities and private actors. We succeed in catching children and young people before the problems grow too big - both humanly and financially. In this effort, we greatly appreciate the support of private supporters such as Sparekassen Sjælland Fyn and Hillerød Rotary Club.” concludes Director Trine Hammershøy, The Social Network / headspace Denmark.
