PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - Kasanová, Anna AU - Pavelová, Ľuba TI - Social Help for Children in the Community DP - 2009 Apr 1 TA - e-Pedagogium PG - 76--84 VI - 9 IP - 2 IS - 12137758 AB - In this article we document some areas of the behavioral problems of children, and present the ways to eliminate them through community social work. The transformation of a welfare state into a fragmented welfare mix in which the organization, funding and the provision of social services is carried out by a variety of different institutions (the state, self-help and volunteer groups, municipalities, families, for-profit organizations, individuals) removes the role of the key service provider from the state and the local authorities. Community work is one of the methods of social assistance focused on encouraging the power of the community and supporting its individual members.
