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.

Work-related challenges (Covered by the employer)
The municipality covers up to 6 sessions of short-term psychological treatment for challenges related to the workplace. The aim is to provide you with practical tools to help you manage the situation. We can, among other things, support you with:
- Support following incidents involving violence, threats, or other serious events.
- Managing bullying, harassment, and workplace conflicts.
- Preventing and treating stress and burnout.
- Tools for stress management, setting boundaries, and clarifying expectations in your working life.
How to book: Your manager must first approve the need for psychological support and will then provide you with a discount code. Download the Dr.Dropin app, securely log in using BankID, and enter the code when booking your appointment.
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 you would like. You can use the same psychological support service for personal challenges. You pay for these consultations yourself at a discounted rate. Please also note that you may be eligible to apply to Stavanger Municipality for partial reimbursement of the treatment costs (in accordance with the municipality’s internal procedures). We can, among other things, provide support with:
- Difficult relationship breakdowns, divorce, and challenges related to child custody arrangements.
- Grief, loss, and difficult life decisions.
- Problems in relationships with children and parents.
- Mild to moderate psychological reactions, such as everyday anxiety and low mood, that affect your ability 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, choose your preferred appointment time, and pay directly through the app.
