PIA for parents

Are you the parent of a young person between the ages of 10 and 18 and came to Sweden in 2015 or later?

As a newcomer to a country, one can be faced with challenges such as learning a completely new language, understanding how a different society works and encountering a different culture. If you are also the parent of a teenage child, there is a lot going on in their life. Challenges for teenagers in a new country can include having to learn a new language, make new friends and understand the new culture.


In the program, you who are parents of one or more young people between the ages of 10 and 18 and who came to Sweden from 2015 get the opportunity to meet and talk about how you can best help your teenager cope with challenges.

The program consists of five meetings that are 2.5 hours. Each group consists of 6–10 parents who came to Sweden in 2015 or later and two trained leaders who speak both Swedish and Arabic, Dari, Kurdish (Kurmanji), Somali or Tigrinya. You as a participant can choose which language you want to speak in during the meetings.


Part of the program is that you as a participant also answer questions in surveys. The questions are about your thoughts about what it is like to be a parent and to come to a new country.


Parents who have previously participated in the program have found it enjoyable, have helped them, and would be happy to recommend it to others in a similar situation.


We therefore hope that you want to join us!
