Most of the families would be met by their institutional services. That means the community's crisis team will meet every family. If it's in the hospital, there will be a hospital responsibility.
Specialized services are second-line services. If somebody is really suffering a lot, they will be referred to the second line and usually see a specialist within psychology. It's not automatic and we are better at following up with trauma than we are with loss. Now, given the new situation with diagnosis, there is also more recognition of grief in the public system. The crisis teams we have, in every community in Norway, work primarily with sudden losses, which is often when a child dies. About 90% to 95% of their work will be in relation to a loss. That's our system.
Next, we have the nationwide organizations. There aren't many of them. We have three or four. One is for suicide bereavement. One is for childhood, before the age of four. There's a third one as well. These offer supportive services. The former sudden infant death association, which now has another name, had a weekend for them. I'm going to Tromso tomorrow, Trondheim the day after and then Oslo, where they arranged something to do with coping with loss. There are a lot of people coming to these events, so they do a lot to help.
The thing we are lacking is that these organizations are not brought into the chain at once. It's not automatic from the hospital system. I would have liked that. That's where the role of science comes in, but they're not allowed to just notify them. There are laws that prohibit it. It would be a much better model to have them directly co-operating with the government or to have the things paid for by the government.
