Children and young people are affected when someone in the family is ill and needs to understand what is happening. It may be that you yourself are a patient, a relative, or that you are a parent of sick children with siblings. We at the hospital will contribute to ensuring that children and young people in your family are well cared for.

The patient library in Arendal is located in the basement of the main building. It is self-service and open 24 hours a day. Here you can borrow books and read newspapers and magazines.
Some patients also react allergically to perfume or creams containing perfume. We ask that this be taken into consideration.
Many patients and relatives want to take pictures/videos or blog from their time at the hospital. Of course, you are welcome to do so, as long as you respect the privacy of others.
Here are a couple of good tips for using social media for you as a patient or relative:
- Respect others. You must have consent if you want to take pictures or videos of patients or staff. All patients have the right to privacy when they are at the hospital.
- Parents/guardians decide whether you can take pictures of children or publish pictures of their children online. Parents should consider what is best for the child. When the child is 12 years old, great weight should be placed on what the child thinks. When the child is 15 years old, they decide for themselves whether it is okay to be photographed and whether it should be published.
- Remember that staff must also give their permission if you want to publish pictures you have taken of them.
- You should remove content you have published if the person involved asks you to. If others have posted pictures of you online without permission, you can ask the person to delete them. If you are not heard, you can contact: www.slettmeg.no.
Sound recordings
It is not illegal to make recordings of conversations you participate in for private use. Publishing and sharing, however, requires the consent of the person you are talking to. Secret recordings of conversations you do not participate in are illegal.
Sometimes we need a room for rest and reflection. We have three such rooms available for you and your relatives. The rooms are open to all regardless of beliefs and faith.

Both rooms are open 24 hours a day. In Flekkefjord, the chapel is located near the parking lot to the left of the main entrance.
There is also the possibility of holding a memorial service in the chapel in the event of a death. This is arranged by contacting the hospital chaplains.
Eg Church in Kristiansand is open every weekday between 08:00-18:00, for those who want a room for silence and reflection. Open from 10:00-18:00 on weekends.
