The Social Services Department has a broad area of responsibility, including authority exercises and preventive measures, including child and youth care, substance abuse and addiction care, domestic violence, financial assistance, and family law.

The Social Services Department has a new organization, effective from 2026-09-01. The department now consists of divisions instead of units, and a new management layer has been introduced. One result of the new organization is that all treatment interventions that are assessed for assistance are contained within one division (the Division for Treatment Interventions), and the interventions offered without an assistance decision are contained within another (the Division for Preventive Interventions). We see many advantages with the new organization. In addition to offering close supervision through a manager, it enables treatment interventions to be offered earlier and with higher quality.
