Intervention
Family counselling based on the families’ needs. The intervention consists of two types of treatment depending on the family's challenges and needs: 1. Ordinary family therapy is given to families where the parents need light or moderate help to navigate everyday life and strengthen their relationship with the child or young person. The treatment consists of help for the family approx. 2-4 hours per week. 2. Intensive family treatment is given to families where the children show serious signs of unwellness, where one or more children are at risk of being placed in care and the level of concern is high. The treatment consists of help for the family for approx. 15-20 hours per week.

Outcome metrics
- Completed planned family treatment. It is expected that 80 per cent of the specific action plan goals set for each family are met
- Help received. The families receive, on average, 12 hours less intervention from the municipality (job centre, health care, etc.) than before the intervention started.
- Less absence. Absence from school for children in the family falls by 70 per cent.
- Fewer children placed in care. It is expected that 50 per cent of the families do not have children who are placed in care or at risk thereof after treatment has been completed
- Increased well-being. Increased well-being for the families is also an outcome goal. The measurement methods and success criteria will be determined later in the process

INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information.

Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise.
