  Determining and identifying the effectiveness of social work pose significant challenges for both researchers and practitioners alike. Due to quality assurance, training expectations, and scientific thoroughness, we continually seek ways to define results and to make the necessity of social work visible. In our interpretation, empowerment realized in a support relationship can serve as both the aim of assistance and as an indicator of the effectiveness of the relationship. Due to the multifactorial nature of the support process, it is not easy to identify which agent in the collaborative work led the individual to a state where they can control their own lives and influence their environment. In our study, we examine the morphosemantic meaning of empowerment and uncover the content contradictions that emerge in the analysis. Subsequently, we direct attention to the organizational environment of the support relationship: we explore which organizational characteristics and operations influence the realization of empowerment and how this may occur.

  In the period between 2018 and 2020, two organizations in the city of Tapolca also launched programs aimed at the prevention of mental health and prevention of addictions. In the present study, the focus is on the collaborations that have taken place on the programs and on the motivation of the professionals in terms of getting involved in the programs. The basic question is what effect the established collaborations will have on social professionals and the services they provide in the future. The evaluation of the results has shown that responding to the social problems present is important for all sectors and can be described as a common issue. In the new techniques learned by the applications, professionals see an opportunity for treatment, which can also be the basis for working together. Thus, it can be said that interprofessional cooperation is present in the city, which is a strong basis for building interdisciplinary professionalism. However, the social and educational fields were basically involved in the programs, so we cannot yet talk about fully promoting interdisciplinary cooperation at the city level.

  The case study describes the organisation of a community space support network in a county seat in Eastern Hungary. The study of the Labor Café's facilitative collaborations presented in this article was conducted using participant observation, fieldwork and interview methods between 25 February and 7 March 2022, during the first ten days of the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The study aims to show the functioning of a grassroots solidarity and trust network organised around the Labor Café in a crisis. As the author herself was a volunteer member of this network during the fieldwork, this paper is both a synthesis of her experiences and a theoretical framework for understanding them. The paper will provide a detailed description of the solidarity networks in Hungary and support attitudes by describing the events presented in the case study.

  The article examines the existence of the famous slum in the city centre, the functions of it in the local social policy from the viewpoint of an NGO field worker. Gans’ functionalist method and the wilder context may explain the fact that there is no plan for the liquidation of the settlement since two years, although the money is given. The article analyses how became the stigma of the slum useful by the media, art, charity actions through political aims and how this special situation reinforced by the COVID–19.

  The investigation of social resources that facilitate problem-solving plays a major role in the understanding of internal client migration. This study deals primarily with the investigation of family- and social network in the broader sense by examining the risk factors of the given field. The quality of relationships determine quality of life in general. The intensity, depth and content of these relationships are all important resources in the personal life of the client. Besides these personal relationships, professional supporting relationships that help improve or maintain quality of life play a dominant role in the life of migrating clients. A further aim of the study is to review the literature and methodology of case diagnostics in the field of practice of individual and family-level case work. Thereby, we can interpret the system of lack of resources related to internal client migration and thus we can relocate the focus points of complex supporting work.

  The objective of the study is to investigate the integration of social work students in the labour market in order to develop social work BA-level education. The research is based on a quantitative questionnaire completed by a number of 196 University-graduate respondents. The data collection was carried out in three institutions: Partium Christian University, University of Pécs, and University of Debrecen. According to the results, most experts consider themselves well prepared, but they have some shortcomings in their skills such as knowledge of foreign languages, financial literacy, project management, application writing, research methodology and understanding social processes. University education should focus more on these areas. Most of the professionals are satisfied with their education, but the proportion of the average evaluators is also high. It was found that the relationship between the knowledge acquired in the university is not significantly related to job satisfaction, and certain skills can be retrofitted during work practice.

• A művészetterápia szerepe a serdülőkori depresszió kezelésében

  As social workers we frequently meet teenagers who are suffering from some type of depression. Of course social workers cannot heal them, or use therapy, but we do have to do everything in our power to form a trusting relationship with them as our clients. They need to communicate with us, which is already a challenge when it comes to the relationship between an adolescent and an adult. My project’s goal was to find the use and role of art therapy in our work with clinically depressed adolescents.

  In my research I write about the typical signs and forms of depression, and explain a few theories about the cause of the illness. Then I introduce different types of art therapy, mainly focusing on their use in social work. I examined different methods in art therapy and made a few recommendations about how they could be used in working with depressed clients.

  During my work I was very careful not to overstep the lines of social work. As I said, we cannot cure depression, but we can use certain tools of art therapy as a bridge between the social worker and the client whose age and illness makes it even more difficult to build a trusting relationship.

• The importance of social rehabilitation as an effective tool for activation for the parent’s perspective

  If the situation arises when a child's proper upbringing and favourable development are at risk and parents cannot or are not able to solve this situation by themselves, the child is, according to act on social and legal protection of children, considered as endangered (Act No. 359/2009 Coll., on social and legal protection of children).
  It is not easy to determine the degree of risk and it is even harder to choose the suitable support service and involve parents, considering the degree of risk. A true professional makes the family realize that the problem solution is connected with responsibility and the quality care for children (Gjuričová, Š., Kubička, J., 2003).
  During the last five years, several new sorts of support services have been created in order to attempt to provide support tailored to the needs of the aforementioned families (Act. No. 108/2006 Coll., on social services).
  Social rehabilitation is an example of such auxiliary service. It emphasizes the bond between parents and children and brings out family ties in general (Act. No. 108/2006 Coll., on social services).
  The acceptance of social rehabilitation is very difficult for every family. With regard to psychology, families must deal with complicated stressful situations (Bob, P., Vymětal, J., 2005).
  Centre for children of South Bohemian region in Strakonice has been performing social and legal protection for children since 2006. The main target of the Centre for children is mutual communication with families, cooperation and rational problem solution. This would be barely possible without the participation of the family, or at least one of its members.
  Mutual cooperation, empathy, thoughtfulness, helpfulness, sympathy and patience are essential for social work. In order to solve problems efficiently, it is also convenient to know the viewpoint of the family in relation to the provided service. The opinion of the family can reveal many issues.
  Martin Karas is the director of the Centre for children, which focuses on active involvement of family in social rehabilitation. He highlights one of several problems - insufficient and unsystematic support of family from institutions in the process. Insufficient support may prevent children’s return to their biological family in time. In his studies he focuses on an important issue – the active participation of the family in problem solving.
  The aim of this article is to point out that active cooperation with family, especially the opinion of family, is an important criterion of the quality of the partnership. The article contains interviews with participants and former participants of social rehabilitation; several conclusions were made based on these interviews.

  This article is about the history and methodology of person-centered planning related social work with people with disabilites. My goal is to present the underlying values and princples of the person-centered theory together with practice. I would like to give some example to the practice from international experiences and articles since we don’t use person-centered planning in Hungary (yet). Furthermore I analyze what kind of difficulties we have to consider when we think of using this method in our country, and if it would be possible to apply it during the course of deinstitualization.

  This case study examines the institutional experience of a user of a temporary shelter for the homeless. The focus of the study is on the clients' perceptions of their own dignity. It aims to provide a perspective on what is worth reflecting on the crisis in social work or what pathways can be seen to move towards a more professional values-based social work. The fundamental purpose and essence of social work is the protection of human dignity, especially for individuals, groups and communities at high risk of exclusion. In this paper, I intend to show how easily services, institutions and professionals can become partners in the violation of dignity, even though their function is to protect it.

  In this study I take a closer look at siblings of drug addicts. We can find similar researches about parents and spouses, but rarely about siblings. The purpose of this study is to bridge this gap. In this research, five semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of the Blue Point Foundation Sibling Group, and one interview was done with a non-member. The interviews were processed with thematic analysis.

  Results: The results show that substance use was negatively altering the relationships between siblings and family members. In all cases siblings were aware of substance use way before their parents. They feel responsible for saving the drug user family member. Substance use negatively affects school achievements, work performance and day-to-day life of those around the user.

  Conclusion: I would like to raise the attention of professionals and parents for the need of helping siblings of drug users.

  Tanulmányunkban az öngyilkossági kísérlet elkövetése és különböző szociodemográfiai háttérváltozók, valamint életesemények közötti összefüggést vizsgáltuk. A kutatási kérdéseket a Nyírő Gyula Kórház – Országos Pszichiátriai és Addiktológiai Intézet pszichiátriai osztályaira öngyilkossági kísérlet elkövetése miatt felvételre kerülő páciensek (N = 52) kérdőíves megkérdezésével vizsgáltuk. Az eredmények szerint az öngyilkosságot elkövetők között felülreprezentált az egészségkárosodás miatt leszázalékoltak, az egyedülálló férfiak és a munkanélküliek csoportja. Fontos rizikótényezőként kell tekinteni a különböző negatív életeseményekre, különösen az anyagi helyzet jelentős romlására, valamint a közeli családtagokat érintő betegségre, vagy a hozzátartozók elvesztésére. Összefüggés tapasztalható a negatív életesemények halmozódása és az öngyilkosság elkövetése között. A vizsgálat során rizikófaktorként azonosított tényezőket fontos figyelembe venni a segítő kapcsolatban, valamint a szociális szolgáltatások tervezésekor.

According to the starting point of our hypothesis the adverse health conditions and psychosocial problems underlines the importance of the prevention, while the programmes of the primer prevention in the Hungarian care system proves insufficient, and the secondary prevention is unsettled.

Considering the complexity of this subject, in this study we try to take out of the topic of theoretical background of the transitive changes of aging in scope of „desk-based research” for develop a new conceptual framework of the transitive changes in integrative approach based on key-concepts on modern gerontology.

  A munkát a győri Széchenyi István Egyetem közösségi és civil tanulmányok mesterképzés hallgatójaként kezdtem el, és diplomadolgozatban összegeztem. Egy hosszú évekre tervezett tevékenység kezdeti szakaszában járok, de a folyamat első eredményei biztatóak. Személyes érintettségem okán, korábbi, más tartós betegséggel összefüggő gyakorlati tapasztalataimat felhasználva szerettem volna létrehozni egy elsősorban pszichés támogatást nyújtó programot olyan családok számára, akiknek gyermeke cukorbetegséggel él. Mivel támogatáson alapuló programszerű működésben gondolkodtam, a mentorprogram kifejezést kezdtem használni – így jelen tanulmányban is így hivatkozom rá. Munkámat azzal a céllal kezdtem el, hogy létrejöjjön egy komplex módszer, valamint alakuljon a program köré szerveződő segítő közösség, amely (jelenleg alapítás alatt álló) szervezeti keretek között, folyamatosan működik, fejlődik, és reményeim szerint országos hálózattá válik. A mentorprogram megvalósítása során jellemzően az 1-es típusú cukorbetegséggel élő gyermekek családjaira koncentrálok.

• Sport és felzárkóztatás: Underclassbeli fiatalok sport általi emancipációjának lehetőségei

  A magyar társadalomban a cigányság egy jelentős része olyannyira elszegényedett, hogy a hazai underclass szinte teljes egészében etnicizálódott. A periférián kívüli kisebbségi lét és a deprivációs spirál ellehetetleníti a többségi társadalommal való kooperáció lehetőségét, a társadalmi mobilitást. Elméletem szerint az underclassban a szegénykultúra strukturálja a mindennapokat, sok esetben ez jelöli ki az egyén pozícióját a közösségben. Ennek egyik, ha nem a legfontosabb eszköze az erőszak, az agresszió. Felértékelődik a fizikum, a küzdelemben való jártasság az underclassbeli ifjúság körében. Dolgozatomban azt állítom, hogy a szociális munkás a sportot – különösen a küzdősportot – felhasználva megteremthet egy olyan interakciós teret, ahol kialakul a bizalmi légkör, és lehetővé válik az emancipáció érdekében végzett segítő munka. Írásomban bemutatom a főbb sportszociológiai és sportpszichológiai elméleteket annak integrációs, valamint személyiségformáló hatásáról. A brazil Fight for Peace és az Újpesti Cigány Nemzetiségi Önkormányzat Tanoda Programjának metódusa, illetve eredményei alapján megvizsgálom a sportban rejlő lehetőségeket már meglévő kutatási eredményekre, illetve az általam felvett interjúkra támaszkodva.

The method was first developed in the realms of medical education, but in recent years it has reached a rather wide range of professional training programs, including social work education. Following a condensed theoretical overview of the method, the author outlines the concept and thematic structure of a short (four-day) introductory workshop for teachers and curriculum developers working in higher education of social workers and allied professionals, who would have the chance to discuss the possibility of introducing the method in their teaching practice as a starting point towards the integration and development of a more practice-oriented training of social professionals.

  The study seeks to understand what benefits homeless people – based on their own explanations, perceptions – attribute to the place they chose to spend their nights, and often their days as well. What factors influence their choice in where they spend the night, where they sleep. We answer these questions through analysing almost 6200 responses to the annual national February 3rd survey.

  Our research reveals that for homeless people – just like for others – the factors influencing the choice of accommodation range wider than its primary, physical conditions, like a roof, heating, possibilities for sleep and shower, or fulfilling other basic needs like accessing food. Other characteristics defining a home (such as security, autonomy and freedom provided by privacy) are equally important.

  Professionals working with homeless people can build on understanding the differences between the motivation, preferences of values between homeless people sleeping in various services or on the streets when weighing the advantages of a certain type of accommodation or when deciding whether to “go sleep in a shelter” or “stay outside”.
