More people helped by the national child welfare and family counselling service
Figures for 2004 show that more children receive help from the national child welfare service. Fewer children live in institutions, but the number of children in nationally supported foster homes or emergency shelter homes has increased.

The family counselling offices have dealt with an increasing number of cases and mediations in recent years. A large number of the cases dealt with in one year are closed in the same year. Waiting times and treatment times have been reduced in recent years.
