Expert teams for children with serious developmental and mental disorders
A team of specialists is in operation for children with serious developmental and mental disorders.
Municipalities can request the team's advice by filling out a request and sending it with supporting documents by mail to the National Agency for Children and Families or securely via Signet Transfer (see link).

The team of experts on board:
Guðrún Þorsteinsdóttir, director of the National Analysis and Counseling Center
Guðrún Bryndís Guðmundsdóttir, head physician at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Department at Landspítali hospital
Hjördís Auður Árnadóttir, psychologist at the Stuðlar treatment center
