About the Department

The Joint Reception and Interventions Department is one of five departments and consists of nine units.

Counseling, authority exercises, and interventions with and without needs assessment are some of the main areas of responsibility. Interventions are provided both individually and in groups for children and adults. The department is also responsible for budget and debt counseling as well as investigating deceased estates.

Since 2022, the department has developed its operations using service design to utilize the knowledge citizens possess, thereby becoming a more open and accessible social service with the new Social Services Act as a benchmark.
