Skärholmen's district administration is one of Stockholm's 11 district administrations and includes the districts of Bredäng, Sätra, Skärholmen, and Vårberg.

Welcome to us

The social services in Skärholmen are facing an exciting period as we develop our working methods to meet the requirements of the new social services act.

We strive to be a social service that is accessible, professional, and meets the residents in the best possible way.

Within the open care for children and youth in Skärholmen, we work with children and youth aged 0–20 years and their families within the framework of the social services' open care interventions. In open care, we work with assessed interventions on behalf of the social services' child and youth unit and family care, with whom we have a close collaboration. We also work with non-assessed interventions for families according to the New SoL.

The unit consists of a unit manager and nine family therapists, of which two mainly work as network leaders. The workgroup also includes a case manager and two contact secretaries.

Open care for children and youth is part of the operational area for children and youth together with the family care unit and the child and youth unit.
