Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ta reda på om ett familjearbete med placerade ungdomar och deras familjer, på SiS ungdomshem Folåsa, påverkar ungdomarnas upplevelse av oro/besvär inom områden så som familj och psykisk hälsa. Genom en analys av ungdomarnas svar på inskrivnings-, utskrivnings-, samt uppföljnings-ADAD- intervjuer har jag sökt svaren på frågeställningarna. När ungdomarna själva skattar så upplever de att det är bättre eller mycket bättre inom de flesta av de livsområden som ADAD avser att undersöka. Det visar sig att ungdomarna upplever mindre konflikter i hemmet efter behandlingen. De har även en mindre oro för problem inom området familj när uppföljningsintervjun görs ca ett år efter utskrivning. Oron för den psykiska hälsan har dock ökat något från inskrivning till uppföljning. Ungdomar anser sig i stor utsträckning fått hjälp med de problem de velat ha hjälp med, och endast två (2/ 26) av ungdomarna har vistats på annan behandlingsinstitution efter Folåsa. / The purpose of this essay has been find out if working with a family which has its younger members placed in an institution, SiS Youthhome Folåsa, will affect the adolescents experience of anxiety and problems within their family and their mental health. Through an analysis of the interviews given to the adolescents upon arrival and departure to the facility and later on in the follow up interview, I have tried find the answers to the essay`s questions. When the adolescents themselves have to assess their experience, they find that life is better or much better in most areas that ADAD intends to explore. It shows that, one year after they have been discharged, the adolescents experience less conflicts in their families and they also worry less about family related problems. However, their apprehension of their mental health has increased somewhat compared to how they felt before the treatment. The majority of the adolescents consider that they got the help they needed with the problem they had and only two (2/26) of the participants in this study were placed at another institution after their stay at Folåsa.
