About the Administration
We are here for people. We offer various types of support to children, youth, families, and adults who need our interventions. We provide the support needed for individuals to independently move forward to work, studies, or receive help to develop. We care for our elderly when they need support in their daily lives. We are one of the few municipalities in Sweden with a comprehensive social services department. This means that authority exercise, treatment, and supportive interventions exist within the same administration. We see this as an enormous strength. We create value for our municipal residents and contribute to a good and dignified life - for everyone, regardless of circumstances.
