FMN Storstockholm

What FMN Storstockholm does

FMN Storstockholm (Föräldraföreningen Mot Narkotika – Stockholm) is a Stockholm-based non-profit association (ideell förening) founded in 1968 that delivers counseling, peer support groups, courses, digital lectures, and mindfulness sessions to anhöriga — relatives and close ones of people affected by alcohol or drug addiction. Operating from Ragvaldsgatan 12 on Södermalm with an 8-person staff, the organization serves individuals regardless of their specific relationship to the person with addiction. All counseling and group facilitation is led by trained therapists who themselves have personal lived experience as anhöriga, a positioning the organization treats as central to its credibility and differentiation. Services are delivered in-person at the Södermalm premises and digitally via Zoom.

The service portfolio comprises individual support conversations (stödsamtal), segmented peer support groups (parent groups, the new adult-sibling group, and the open 'Öppna Rummet' digital group), a two-day Anh\u00f6rigkurs / family life course priced at SEK 500 including meals, monthly digital mindfulness sessions, and themed digital lectures. Most services are free; only the membership (SEK 150/year) and the Anh\u00f6rigkurs carry fees. Membership is reported at approximately 300. The organization is religiously and politically independent and operates under the national FMN Riks umbrella.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through institutional grants rather than commercial sales. Primary funders are Stockholm Stad, Region Stockholm, and approximately 20 surrounding municipalities (Botkyrka, Huddinge, Lidingö, Nacka, Järfälla, Sundbyberg, Sollentuna, Tyresö, Vallentuna, Värmdö, Enskede Årsta Vantör), supplemented by private foundations including Stiftelsen Ansvar för framtiden, Magnus Bergvalls Stiftelse, Frimurare Barnhuset i Stockholm, Timmermansordern, Åke Wiberg Stiftelse, and others. Individual donations flow via Swish (123 048 48 81) and bankgiro, with FMN registered as a gåvomottagare with Skatteverket enabling 25% tax relief on qualifying gifts. The go-to-market is community-led: Instagram (@fmn_storsthlm), Facebook, email newsletters, the fmn-sthlm.se website, podcast appearances, and participation in National Anhörigveckan / Anhörigdagen drive awareness. Distribution channels are in-person at Södermalm and digital/remote via Zoom, with strategic partnerships with Stockholm Sydost Rödakorskrets (Red Cross) and NSPH extending reach into the broader Stockholm mental-health ecosystem.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Suicide Zero: Swedish non-profit supporting people bereaved by suicide and those with suicidal ideation, with overlapping family-support services. Comparable because it serves bereaved family members in Sweden via peer support and education, addressing a closely adjacent grief-and-family cohort to FMN's addiction-affected families.

Direct peers

• Nar-Anon Sverige: Swedish Nar-Anon family groups serving relatives of people with drug addiction. Comparable because the customer base, peer-group support format, and Swedish geography overlap directly with FMN Storstockholm's anhöriga focus on drug and alcohol addiction.
• Al-Anon Sverige: Swedish branch of the international Al-Anon Family Groups offering peer-support groups for relatives of alcoholics. Directly comparable because it serves the exact same customer segment (anhöriga of people with substance addiction) via group meetings, in the same Stockholm catchment, with a similar lived-experience facilitation model.
• FMN Riks: The national parent organization of FMN Storstockholm, running the same anhörig support model across Sweden. It is directly comparable because it provides identical counseling, courses, and advocacy services to relatives of people with addiction at national scale, and FMN Storstockholm is explicitly affiliated with it.

Broad incumbents

• Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters (international): Global parent organization of Al-Anon Family Groups. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the international peer-support-for-families-of-alcoholics space, demonstrating the larger scale model that FMN Storstockholm's lived-experience group format could theoretically emulate via FMN Riks.
• Landsorganisationen för anhöriga (Anhörig Landsorganisationen): Swedish national advocacy and support federation for family caregivers broadly. Comparable as a broader incumbent operating in the same anhörig space with national reach, lobbying and information services, but covering all caregiving relationships rather than specializing in addiction.
• Bris (Barnens Rätt i Samhället): Swedish children's rights organization that supports minors with family issues including parental addiction. Comparable because it overlaps in serving children and families affected by a parent's substance abuse, though Bris operates a national helpline and advocacy model rather than FMN's in-person therapy groups.

Others

• Mind UK: UK mental-health charity offering information, peer support and counseling for people affected by mental illness, including family members. Comparable as a thematically related non-profit providing anhörig-style support services in a different geography, useful as a benchmark for digital/hybrid delivery models.
