Counseling, authority exercise, interventions with and without needs assessment are some of the main areas of responsibility. Services are provided both individually and in groups to children and adults. The department is also responsible for budget and debt counseling as well as investigating estates.
Since 2022, the department has developed its operations with the help of service design in order to utilize the knowledge citizens have and thereby become a more open and accessible social service with the new Social Services Act as a benchmark.
