Abstract

The data consist of transcripts of 12 multi-agency and client meetings in Finland. The meetings were held in connection with outpatient rehabilitation of young people suffering from serious mental disorders. Depending on the meeting type, discussions covered goals for the rehabilitation programme, transfer of client care from the rehabilitation unit to other units/teams, the client's housing and rehabilitation arrangements after the rehabilitation programme. There were different kinds of meetings: 1) between rehabilitation professionals and their young clients, 2) between rehabilitation professionals, clients, their next of kin and municipal social workers, 3) between rehabilitation professionals and municipal staff responsible for deciding how the client would be cared for after rehabilitation; clients were present only occasionally.

Background variables included the meeting type, number and time period of the rehabilitation programme, and role and gender of meeting participants. The data have been anonymised.

The dataset is only available in Finnish.
