The FHNW School of Social Work offers a range of services designed to help individuals and organisations tackle social problems and to further develop their skills to apply qualitative and quantitative measures to successfully steer and shape social and organisational processes. We provide our clients with a broad reference basis and proven professional and methodological skills in the core areas of expertise of our six thematic institutes:

• Consulting, Coaching and Social Management
• Integration and Participation
• Children and Youth Services
• Social Work Research and Cooperative Knowledge Creation 
• Social Work and Health

Our services are demand-driven, client-focused, and science-based. We deliver our services in different formats, including specialist counselling, lectures, expert’s reports, workshop moderations, or longer-term process consulting. In distinction to our research and development activities, our services adapt already existing knowledge and develop tailored situation-specific implementation opportunities.
