Sammanfattning
Since the early nineties, several regulations have generated more tasks for local community employees engaged in mental health and substance abuse services. This study aimed to explore how such professionals experience their working situation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven professionals. Three primary themes emerged from the interviews: (1) the professionals describe a need to make their identity and work practice publicly known; (2) they also experience a feeling of stress and worry regarding the future and daily tasks, and (3) they experience a strong feeling of academic freedom, joy and optimism in their daily work.
