| Description | The main objective of the integration through education/inclusion is to enforce the level of the social integration of families at risk of social exclusion by the dissemination of methods of family assistantship in public support institutions. Detailed goals include: 1. Enhancement of professional competencies of social workers in the field of the use of modern methods of working with families at the risk of social exclu-sion. 2. Preparation of a new, adequate to the modern forms, form of the environmen-tal support, addressed to families at risk of social exclusion, by adapting the methods and techniques used in the process of helping to the conditions and practices used in the public assistance institutions. The most important addressee of the impact integration through education are families experi-encing difficulties, ie the final recipients of activation measures undertaken by staff of public assistance institutions. Research report „Conditions of the efficient support for families at risk of social exclusion” analyzes the needs of the social professions and the expectations of the support system recipients in the context of using the methodology of work-ing as a family assistant to prevent family exclusion. The research was conduct-ed on two levels: 1. Cognitive – by: a) identifying the resources and working methods of family assistants (includ-ing knowledge about the functioning of socially excluded families, resources, needs and expectations, assessing opportunities and threats, forms of help con-sidered useful for families); b) recognition of the functioning of families at risk of social exclusion (their knowledge, preferences for social activity, continuing education of children and conditions for increasing their activity). 2. Pragmatic - by: a) developing methods and tools addressed to family assistants who work in their workplace with families at risk of social exclusion. |
