Adult social welfare refers to social welfare services and rehabilitative, employment and preventive measures for the adult population and young adults. Adult social welfare involves systematic, target-oriented and multidisciplinary work designed for the overall rehabilitation of clients in need of support and services, as well as to stabilise their life situation and prevent difficulties.

The goal of social support is to maintain and promote the client´s capacity to live in a safe and independent manner. Further aims include empowering the client, independent living, good quality of life and life control, awareness of and respect for cultural differences.
