When occupational therapist Liselotte Almén Malmqvist started the foundations of her health and social care company in Södertälje in the 1990s, she realized early on that she wanted to take a holistic approach to occupational therapy. JATC Community Health Care has therefore always worked in an innovative and new way, with an open mind for sustainability and diversity.

JATC Community Health Care is aimed at people with neuropsychiatric disabilities (NPD) and psychosocial difficulties. By offering a safe holistic concept consisting of work, living and leisure, it helps to create a meaningful everyday life. Providing sustainable support structures for the best possible independent life is an integral part of this work.

The company also works to increase elements of both sustainability and diversity. This applies first and foremost to the work of the organization, but is also spread by seeking to influence other actors to think along the same lines.

According to Liselotte Almén Malmqvist, the two concepts of sustainability and diversity are also naturally linked within JATC Community Health Care.

- The organization has several goals. One is to maintain a high quality of services and combine it with sustainable financial goals. Being successful in several areas, both psycho-social and financial, secures the client's everyday life.

The company must be financially stable and sustainable over time to be able to invest in training and research-based tools that promote care for the client.

- Ensuring the purpose of the business, including through good finances, but also by investing in diversity, allows us to deliver what we say we will deliver, explains Liselotte.

Much of the success can be attributed to JATC Community Health Care's earlier focus on being responsive, transparent and open. To be a natural part of the community. Diversity also plays an important role in this.
