How Youwell contributes to the goals of the new national action plan

«Better healthcare - more good years» is the government's new action plan for mental health and substance use (2025-2033). It sets out a necessary shift in Norwegian health policy: from reactive treatment to prevention, coping, and lasting recovery. This is a shift we at Youwell work towards every single day - together with our customers in specialist and municipal health services.

A plan that looks ahead

Among the measures in the plan is the development of a new clinical guideline for assessing and treating anxiety and depression, which will include physical exercise as part of treatment, a requirement that physical activity become part of the treatment offering at every health trust, and a general focus on better continuity of services, early intervention, and broader treatment offerings with higher accessibility.

We're pleased that Solli DPS - one of Youwell's partners - is highlighted as an example in the plan, for its work on exercise in treatment.
