Supporting integration and resilience
Many immigrants need help in coping with the Finnish public administration and building their everyday lives. The Finnish Refugee Council supports immigrants with the challenges of the service system, working life and everyday life.
Individual guidance for young adults
Kurvi provides ad hoc assistance, support and counselling on specific issues related to immigration and permits for young adults who have moved to Finland. We encourage our clients to speak Finnish, but we can also provide counselling in English, Arabic, Persian, Dari, Swedish and Swahili.
In addition, we offer training for public sector professionals, NGOs and students on permit issues for immigrants as well as the situation of immigrants in the service system.

Preventing gang affiliation and radicalisation of young people
We work preventively to promote the well-being of young people and families with foreign backgrounds. The focus of our work is on preventing spirals of violence and drifting into a criminal path, gang affiliation or radicalisation. We also prioritize supporting family interaction and parenthood.
In addition, we educate professionals in various fields about the themes of gang affiliation and radicalisation. In cooperation with other experts, we address problems in services that fail to meet the needs of families with foreign backgrounds.
The project is carried out in cooperation with Children of the Station and funded by the EU and STEA.
