Psychological support for employees of Stavanger municipality
As an employee of Stavanger municipality, including municipal enterprises, private non-profit nursing homes, and NAV State, you have access to an external and neutral psychological support service through Dr.Dropin Psychology. The service is part of the municipality’s early intervention efforts to prevent sick leave and strengthen your ability to work. We offer short waiting times and extended opening hours, so you can quickly get the support you need.
Download the Dr.Dropin app to book an appointment.
Work-related challenges (Covered by the employer)
The municipality covers up to 6 hours of short-term therapy for workplace-related challenges, with the goal of providing you with practical tools to manage the situation. Among other things, we can assist you with support following violence, threats, and serious incidents, managing bullying, harassment, and workplace conflicts, preventing and treating stress and burnout, as well as providing tools for stress management, setting boundaries, and clarifying expectations in your everyday work.
How to book: Your manager must first approve the request. Then, download the Dr.Dropin app, log in with BankID, and enter the discount code “stavanger-psykolog” when booking the appointment. In the field where you describe the reason for the appointment, you must also remember to include your manager's name and SK-number.
Our psychologists are bound by strict confidentiality, and no health information or assessments are shared with your manager.
Personal Challenges (Paid for by You)
Difficult situations at home can often make it challenging to function as desired, and you can utilize the same psychological service for personal challenges. You pay for these consultations yourself at a discounted rate, but keep in mind that you can apply to the Stavanger municipality for a partial reimbursement of the treatment costs (cf. the municipality's internal procedures). We can assist with, among other things, demanding breakups, divorce and child custody challenges, grief, loss and challenging life choices, relationship problems with children and parents, as well as mild to moderate psychological reactions, such as everyday anxiety and low mood, that affect your capacity to work.
How to book: You do not need approval from your manager. Download the Dr.Dropin app, log in using BankID, enter the discount code “stavanger-rabatt”, choose your preferred appointment time, and pay directly through the app.
Remember to bring the municipality's ID card to your first appointment.
Practical information about appointments
Consultations primarily take place in person. We have centrally located, universally designed facilities in both Stavanger and Sandnes, with excellent access to public transport. The first appointment is therefore always booked as an in-person meeting. If you prefer to have subsequent consultations via video, this is something you can arrange directly with your psychologist after the first appointment.
