Authorities in North Jutland, Denmark, have initiated several measures to support children and young people. An agreement between the North Jutland Region and 11 municipalities aims to strengthen child and youth psychiatry by enhancing early prevention, increasing diagnostic and treatment capacity, and creating more cohesive care pathways.

Complementing these mental health efforts, nine municipalities organized a large-scale event in Vrå to support foster families. The gathering provided professional inspiration and networking opportunities for 475 foster parents from various regions, including Aalborg and Hjørring, to help them manage the emotional demands of their roles.
