BUP Täby

What BUP Täby does

BUP Täby is a local outpatient clinic providing specialist child and adolescent psychiatric care in the Täby/Danderyd area of Stockholm County, Sweden. Operating as part of BUP Stockholm (Barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin), the organization was renamed BUP Danderyd 2 effective April 1, 2024, as part of regional restructuring. The clinic is one of more than 25 outpatient locations within BUP Stockholm, which delivers publicly funded psychiatric assessment, evaluation, and treatment for children and adolescents aged 0–17 across the full diagnostic spectrum — including ADHD, autism, OCD, eating disorders, psychosis, depression, trauma, self-harm, gender incongruence, and oppositional defiant disorder. BUP Stockholm integrates clinical care with research through a co-located partnership with Karolinska Institutet, operating specialized clinics for OCD (world-leading), neuropsychiatry (KIND), gender incongruence (KID), and internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (IKBT). Service delivery spans outpatient clinics, intensive outpatient units, inpatient (heldygnsvård) facilities, a 24/7 emergency unit, and internet-based treatment available nationally.

BUP Stockholm is a public government entity, operating as a division within Stockholms läns sjukvårdsområde (SLSO) under Region Stockholm. It employs over 1,200 staff and serves more than 22,000 children, adolescents, and families annually. All services are free of charge at the point of use, funded through regional taxation and public healthcare allocations. Revenue is not commercially disclosed. The go-to-market is referral-driven (primary care, schools, social services) plus self-referral via the 'En väg in' single entry point. Strategic positioning emphasizes integration of clinical care with research, multi-agency collaboration with social services and police, and a comprehensive specialized clinic network. BUP Stockholm has received over 28 million SEK in Wallenberg Foundation research grants, hosts the Q-bup quality registry, and maintains a 'sister clinic' research relationship with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. The stated clinical outcomes include 70–80% positive response rates for both OCD and BDD treatment programs.
