About Brúarskóli
Brúarskóli is a special school for children and adolescents facing significant mental, behavioral, or social difficulties. Brúarskóli operates in four locations in Reykjavík. In Vesturhlíð, in Brúarhús at Húsaskóli, on Dalbraut at BUGL, and in Stuðlar.
Brúarskóli is a temporary school arrangement with the goal of strengthening students and supporting them so they may be better equipped to study in a regular primary school. The focus is on working in a positive way to improve student behavior and praising them for what they do well. In addition, efforts are made to strengthen and enhance the students' social and interaction skills. Teaching occurs in small study groups and is individually tailored to the needs of each student.
Brúarskóli also has an advisory role towards general primary schools concerning difficult student behavior.

Farsæld barna
Ný lög um samþætta þjónustu í þágu farsældar barna hafa tekið gildi. Markmiðið er að tryggja að börn og forsjáraðilar fái rétta aðstoð, á réttum tíma, frá réttum aðilum. Fjölskyldum og börnum sem þurfa snemmtækan stuðning er tryggður aðgangur að tengilið farsældar í nærumhverfi barnsins, svo sem í leikskóla eða grunnskóla. Tengiliður farsældar veitir upplýsingar og leiðbeiningar um þjónustu og stuðlar að því að börn og forsjáraðilar hafi aðgang að þjónustu án hindrana. Til að óska eftir samþættri þjónustu geta börn, ungmenni og forsjáraðilar haft samband við tengilið farsældar.
