About the Team

Our team organization consists of a reception team, two authority teams focusing on individuals and families respectively, and a team comprising consolidated outpatient care. The authority teams work with multidisciplinary competence, meaning several different specializations are represented and they collaborate closely around the client, which also contributes to a secure and developing work environment for employees.

At the Family Team, we work with the whole family, which for various reasons may need support and help to achieve a functioning life situation. The team consists of two team leaders, one senior social secretary, and case workers with broad competence within social work in general and specialized competence in areas such as financial assistance, children & youth, family law & paternity, foster homes, domestic violence, as well as addiction & mental health. Together with the other teams within IFO (Individual and Family Care), we run and develop an organization built to focus on the individual and the family.
