Nupso stands for Nuoret psoriaatikot, i.e. young people with psoriasis. Nupso brings together young members of the Finnish Psoriasis Association (Psoriasisliitto - Psoriasisförbundet), acting as its youth section.

Nupso organises events dedicated to young people with psoriasis. These include trips, camps, courses and get-togethers. The aim of Nupso activities is to reach young people with psoriasis (15 to 30 years of age) and to help them to realise that they are not alone with the disease.

There is a youth committee consisting of 8 Nupso members which discusses issues that are relevant to young people with psoriasis. The committee also plans and arranges Nupso activities. At the office of the Finnish Psoriasis Association, Milla Roos acts as the contact person for Nupso affairs (tel. 0400 546 988, e-mail: milla.roospsori.fi.
