| Anotation | The proposed project deals with the question of interventions of social work in the situation of young people preparing for the departure from institutions of children's homes to the natural social environment. The situation of young people leaving institutions of children's homes is difficult, as evidenced by researches that show a higher risk of social problems for these people, with young people's emerging adulthood being viewed as a risky and vulnerable period (European Expert Group , 2012; Lumos, 2017; Frimpong-Manso, 2018). Young people who are in transition, ie. leaving home, are often burdened with negative personal experiences at an early age and how society reacts to their institutional past (Fransson, Stor?, 2011). They grow up without parental role models, a harmonious family environment, show psychological and emotional deprivation, syndrome of constitutional dependence, have lower education attained (Lumos, 2017). In the substitute care system in the Czech Republic, the placement in the children's home is secondary to family care. Social work with vulnerable young people in a children's home occupies a specific position, concentrating mainly on performing indirect social work activities. The aim of the research part of the project is to understand and describe interventions of social work in the situation of preparation for the departure of young people from institutions of children's homes to the natural social environment. |
