The aim of this study has been to examine school councelors experiences of the possibility to work with health promotion and preventive focus. According to Swedish law this should be their main focus but previous research shows that school councelors lack possibility to perform such work. In this study qualitative interviews have been conducted with five different school councelors that work in or near Stockholm with students in primary, middle and secondary school. The study has focused on in what way the school’s organisational and institutional factors affect the possibility to work with health promotion and preventive focus. The study shows that law as well as guidelines are inexplicit about in what way school councelors should work health promotive and preventive. The general idea from both colleagues and society is that they should work with individual interventions which also makes it difficult for them to focus on work on a structural level. The inexplicit law and guidelines as well as expectations from colleagues, parents and pupil’s means that the possibility to work health promotive and preventive in the end depends on the support from headmasters.
