Villa Vika Aktiv

Villa Vika Aktiv provides support and respite (avlastning) programmes for children and young people who need them for various reasons. Programmes are individually adapted, combine varied activities with a milieu therapist, and include the children's guardians in planning each stay.

The target group is children with complex needs, including neurological conditions such as ADHD, Tourette syndrome and autism spectrum disorders, as well as families who need help coping with their situation. Stays range from two hours to seven days and can take place at weekends, midweek or during long school holidays. Children are collected from their homes and brought back after each stay. Specialist health services, including BUP and the habilitation service for children and young people, assist in several programmes.

The company was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Hommelvik, Norway. It uses holiday homes at Storlien, Åre and Ånn in Sweden and at Åsen, Melhus, Oppdal and Malvik in Norway. It is certified as a Miljøfyrtårn (environmental lighthouse) business.
