Family Centre Nopea

The Family Centre Nopea is aimed at young people between 12 and 17 years of age living in Tampere. The Family Centre is also aimed at the parents of adolescents and it provides early-stage help and support. The aim of Nopea is to help families in situations where problems are starting to appear but have not continued for a long time. At this stage, the issues causing friction in the family are often easiest to resolve as well.

The Family Centre Nopea provides help in the common difficulties faced by adolescents in the everyday life.
The parents can contact Family Centre Nopea in the following cases, for instance: there are problems at home related to curfews or excessive computer usage, the adolescent has lost the proper daily rhythm, there are difficulties at school, or the communication between the adolescent and the parents does not work.

Nopea starts working with the family on the basis of a common agreement. The process is initiated as quickly as possible and the family is met 1 – 6 times. One can also turn to the Family Centre Nopea for just one-off discussions on parental issues.

Nopea can be reached by phone at 040 800 4735.
The best time to call is on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The families can also be guided to Nopea by other participants in youth work (schools, for instance).
