You're welcome at Pysäkki, no appointment needed, Mon-Fri 9.00-15.00. You can bring a support person. Our services are anonymous, and sobriety isn't required.

At Pysäkki, we'll assess your situation and treatment options, offering discussion help, guidance, and treatment assessments tailored to your preferences.

Our team comprises registered nurses, social instructors, practical nurses, social workers, social therapists, and a doctor, all equipped to address mental health concerns. We collaborate closely with the Youth Station and other organisations.

We also support those concerned about a loved one's substance use, offering assistance to parents, guardians, relatives, and friends of young individuals.
