The two notable deaths in Vilhelmina during the fall have focused on the substance abuse problem. Individual and family care is noticeable, not least by the fact that more concerns have been received.

- The proportion of complaints has increased, says Susanna Rolfsdotter, head of individual and family care in Vilhelmina.

On Wednesday, a grand meeting was held in Vilhelmina where authorities and committed Vilhelminabor discussed the overdoses and the abuse. The meeting was well attended and Susanna Rolfsdotter welcomed the wide support in the community.

- It shows commitment and it is important that we take advantage of it, she says.
