The offer disappears from Skien, T\u00f8nsberg, Kristiansand, Drammen, Hamar and Bod\u00f8.  &#8211; Saves until found Several react to the closure.  Among them Stine N\u00e6ss-Hartmann, who herself has experienced a miscarriage.  &#8211; This has ripple effects for both women and partners.  The offer has been vital for me, she says.  In May 2022, she shared this post with her followers on Instagram, after suffering a miscarriage: Photo: Screenshot On May 17, she was lying in the fetal position on the couch, losing what could have grown into a baby.  ENGAGED: Stine N\u00e6ss-Hartmann is the communications manager for the Oslo Marathon.  In her spare time, she blogs about exercise and other matters of the heart.  Photo: Private &#8211; I experienced zero psychological help.  No one asked how I was, N\u00e6ss-Hartmann tells news.  For her, Amathea became the savior in the difficult time after the abortion.  The conversations with the health service staff have helped a lot.  &#8211; Amathea has been the support that neither friends nor husband could be.  She finds it provocative that the foundation now has to cut the offer.  &#8211; It is completely reprehensible.  Norway saves up to nothing.  Depending on public funding The offer is nationwide and free of charge.  It consists of chat, telephone, video or attendance at one of the offices.  Previously, Amathea received grants from the state budget, but now the grants are to be cut by NOK 6 million.  The cut is critical for the foundation, as it makes up 25 percent of Amathea&#8217;s budget, explains general manager Andrea Skaarer Kreutz.  General manager of Amathea, Andrea Skaarer Kreutz.  Photo: Private &#8211; The consequence will be that fewer women and couples who need follow-up before and after an abortion have an office nearby that they can come to, she says.  Kreutz emphasizes that they will do everything they can to provide a good offer to women who need help, but that the physical proximity of many of the offices disappears.  &#8211; They will still receive services from us, but it will have to be via video, telephone or they will have to travel much further to an office they can visit.  &#8211; Very lonely Another person who reacts to the cuts is Sofie Horsle Setlo, board member of the organization Barseloppr\u00f8ret.  FELT ALONE: Sofie Horsle Setlo had to go through two abortions.  Here from the hospital bed right after she woke up from the anesthesia after her second abortion.  Photo: Private She allowed herself to be surprised by the grief that came after she had to terminate a pregnancy because it was incompatible with life.  She later lost another child at an early stage in her pregnancy.  At the time, she was not aware of the offer from Amathea.  &#8211; I experienced it as very lonely.  Even if you have a partner and a large network, you are in it alone.  Setlo finds it appalling that the foundation has to close so many offices.  &#8211; I feel sad on behalf of everyone who has to stand alone in this.  &#8211; Tough priorities Karl Kristian Bekeng (Ap), State Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Care, writes in an e-mail to news that he thinks Amathea is doing an important job.  INVITES TO APPLY: State Secretary Karl Kristian Bekeng (Ap) says Amathea can apply for project funds.  Photo: Esten Borgos \/ Borgos Foto AS He emphasizes that they have nevertheless had to make tough priorities in a tight budget.  &#8211; Then we have to make sure that the money is distributed fairly and that we get as much as possible back for them.  The changes in the grant schemes are about the fact that we believe everyone should have the same opportunity to apply for grant funding, and that it is the quality of the offer that determines how much funding you will receive, he writes.  Bekeng also adds that there is already a subsidy scheme for sexual health, which partly has overlapping purposes.  &#8211; Amathea can apply for project funds from the grant scheme.<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/vestfoldogtelemark\/amathea-ma-legge-ned-flere-kontorer_-_-livsviktig-for-meg-1.16277062\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six out of ten offices will be closed and 4.5 man-years will be cut in Amathea.
