Sammanfattning

The number of asylum-seeking children has increased dramatically in recent years and Sweden has received unaccompanied adolescents for several years. A number of actors involved have met their needs. In recent years, the number of unaccompanied adolescents placed for compulsory care at SiS special youth homes has increased. The present study aims to describe what characterizes unaccompanied adolescents placed at SiS Special Youth Home, regarding their background, asylum status, health and access to social networks. We also wanted to describe the efforts carried out towards unaccompanied adolescents while placed at SiS. Results are based on deidentified files from 25 unaccompanied adolescents who were placed at SiS during 2015, and shows that a majority are boys, most of them have traumatic experiences in their past, a majority have documented psychological ill health, their access to social networks in Sweden is limited and most do not have a residence permit in Sweden.
