DHS is a non-partisan and non-religious umbrella organization for local disability associations in Helsingborg, formed at the urging of Helsingborg Municipality in 1967.
The purpose of DHS is to coordinate and provide support for the various disability associations in the city, as well as to advocate for disability-related issues, primarily at the municipal level.
DHS has a full-time ombudsman, Björn Tufvesson-Alm, as well as office staff who carry out activities according to the board’s decisions.
DHS member associations offer various activities for your well-being and to help you progress in your social rehabilitation. Some associations also offer courses in self-care. If you choose to organize yourself, you can work towards a better everyday life for yourself and others in the same situation.
Organizing can also be a way to meet others and break social isolation. Through DHS, you can receive information about your rights and be guided to the association that best meets your needs.
