Welcome to help shape the future of social services!

Within our organization, we meet all ages, including children, youth, parents, individuals with dependencies, substance abuse or social psychiatric disabilities, victims of violence, and those in need of financial support. We work with authority enforcement, assessed assistance measures, as well as preventive and advisory measures to reach people early.

Our organization has transitioned to a first-line social service with a single entry point for citizens, meaning that all cases are initially handled by a common reception unit. After that, investigations and further measures take place in a second line. This approach aims to make social services more accessible and efficient for everyone in need of support. Collaboration is a central part of our working method as we recognize the importance of supporting each other to achieve the best possible results for those we serve.

We are a sector driven by a genuine interest in our mission, where we aim to create conditions for equal and equitable living conditions in Skövde through knowledge-based interventions.
