2 Social services We produce and develop social services for families, adult social services and services for the disabled in our member municipalities, with emphasis on a preventative approach. Social services for families Families with children are supported by various open welfare support measures of social services and child protection. Through family services and counselling, we seek to achieve early interventions and support families in managing their resources and taking control of their lives. Custody or placement outside the home is the last resort for safeguarding a child's care. We are constantly developing private care services to replace institutional care. Adult social work We carry out preventative, long-term and multidisciplinary work to support customers in need of financial and social support. Our customers require support in problems related to their livelihood, employment, mental health and/or substance use. Our goal is to promote the overall rehabilitation of our customers and help them take control of their own lives. Services for the disabled We produce services and support for disabled persons to promote their independence and social equality. Our services include transport services, personal assistance, rehabilitation instruction, assisted living services, occupational activities and day activities. We offer our customers rehabilitating and stimulating activities that maintain their ability to function, as well as comfortable and safe assisted living services.

Health care services and services for the elderly We produce customer-oriented services together with our customers. Our objective is to provide timely and effective services for our customers.
