Lessons learned
Developed preventive services is a good base for closing
institutions
Ring-fencing the money from closed institutions in new
services
Prevention and family support need strengthening even in
regions with comparatively developed networks of community
based support services
Prevention services need programme budget
Break the traditional understanding of municipalities as
employers
Use experience of NGOs and work together
