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.
