In Sweden, there are some strong expectations about what a family should look like. These ideas can make things tough for families that don’t fit the traditional mold.

Challenges Families Face:

• Many people look down on single-parent families or those that don’t follow the typical family structure.
• Families that are different often feel lonely and left out.
• Money problems can make it harder for these families to stay together and function well.

Ways to Help:

• Teach people about different types of families so everyone understands and accepts them.
• Create community programs that support families of all kinds.
• Change laws to be more welcoming and supportive of all family types.
