Dr. Nina Jørring established The Family Therapy unit in 2009, the first unit to combine Narrative Therapy and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Through her research and work Nina has shown how this approach truly empowers families being treated at the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. Her work is based on the following principles:

1. Psychiatric illnesses are communicative and relational in their very nature and do not only affect the individual person but affect the whole family.
2. The family is not the problem but has the key to solving the problems.
3. The road to recovery from psychiatric illnesses is through family-collaboration based on the ethics of respect, curiosity, trust and hope.

Nina has taught and supervised medical doctors and other mental health employees for years and is known and respected for her unique approach, which has been described as an “innovative, enthusiastic, and inspiring teaching with exemplary tales and engaging metaphors.”As a writer and the chair of the Danish society Nina aims to help fighting stigma and encourage future medical services to build teams and organizations with leadership that will honour the ethical principles of respect, curiosity, trust, and hope.

Nina is a receiver of the child- and adolescent trainees honouree price for advancing teaching environment in Denmark in 2018 & 2021.
