Elevtjenesten



Elevtjenesten is young people's shortcut to support — no opening hours, no waiting time.
They can quickly get help from qualified professionals when they need it most.

Recent research shows that youth who were digitally fast-tracked during COVID now often prefer to receive support digitally — on their own time and terms.

SINTEF Digital and NTNU Social Research, 2023:

“We need more arenas to connect with young people. We have to take their diversity into account — youth are all different. There must be a low threshold for everyone. That’s part of the essence of the Elevtjeneste app.”

Elevtjenesten has been recognized by SINTEF and NTNU as an important service for youth. We reach those who often don’t seek help elsewhere — especially boys, minority youth, and the quietest voices in society.

Public Sector + Innovation = Business

“It all started with a win in the National Design Competition, tackling the big question: “How can we prevent school dropout?”

Since then, Line Renée Hagen and the team at Whispr have developed Elevtjenesten — a mobile app that has successfully improved communication between students and the school’s support staff.”

  • The Beginning
    Our team of designers and researchers won the National Design Competition, organized by the Ministry of Health and Care Services, the Norwegian Directorate of Health, and DOGA.
    Our mission: to find new ways to reduce school dropout. Elevtjenesten was one of several solutions developed.

    Social Impact
    One young person who falls outside society costs the community 15.9 million NOK — not to mention the personal toll of living in exclusion.

    Elevtjenesten delivers on the triple bottom line:
    It helps young people access support, while also reducing long-term costs to society.

    Elevtjenesten was co-created with young people — and what they asked for back in 2016 is the same as what research shows they need today.

    Youth want digital services that are:
    • Anonymous and easy to use
    • Available in the evenings
    • Integrated into platforms they already use, like social media

  • Elevtjenesten
    Help always available — no office hours, no appointment needed.
    Thousands have received support, from serious trauma to everyday questions.

    Digital health use is growing:
    In 2019, 33% contacted health services online.
    By 2024, that number had risen to 59%.

  • Youth mental health issues are rising.
    Nearly half of girls struggle daily, and 36% feel sad or hopeless about the future. Yet 57% haven’t seen a school nurse, and 92% haven’t visited a health clinic in the past year.

    Many of the young people who wouldn’t normally ask for help — do get help through Elevtjenesten.

  • Elevtjenesten is an ecosystem that connects all national support services, professionals at both local and national levels, and information for young people through social media channels.
    A true low-threshold channel for getting help — anonymously or not.
