LAKU and Etä-LAKU family intervention programs have some pertinent differences. The prior intervention program is provided in an 'urban' context and therapeutic sessions may take place flexibly both at a clinic and in the family's home. Etä-LAKU, however, is strictly an ecosystem-based family intervention program. It is tailored for families who live in rural parts of Finland with very limited health services available. The Etä-LAKU family intervention program does not include the delivery of parent group sessions either. The LAKU family program involves service providers and child mental health clinics in the Finnish towns of Helsinki, Kotka, Tampere and Oulu as well as their environs. The Etä-LAKU intervention program is provided in Lapland and Kainuu/Ylä-Savo environs.
