| Description | In the essay I focus on the question: “How to achieve through a participatory approach improvement of social functioning of families at risk, especially in terms of meeting the best interests of the child in these families”. I analyze selected dimensions of family life which contribute substantially to the functioning of the family. These dimensions create a useful framework that can help to understand which problematic interactions occur in families at risk and what way can be supported the implementation of the best interests of the child. Using the examples of good practice from Switzerland I suggest guidelines and methods of work with families with neglected children and provide suggestions how to achieve mutual understanding of parents and children with help of participation and how to improve their social functioning. My essay is theoretically anchored in a task-oriented approach, which creates a useful background for the application of participatory methods of work as well as it offers a series of practical guides for professionals working with families in their natural environment. |
