Life of early adults after leaving childrens home
ČEGANOVÁ STEJSKALOVÁ, Radka
The Bachelor Thesis discusses the issue of young adults leaving the children´s homes. After leaving the institutional education the youth very often find themselves in difficult life situations they are not ready to deal with. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the life of youth after leaving the children´s homes. The youth very often leave the institutional education facilities without housing and employment having been prearranged, and want to become independent as soon as possible. Unlike their peers who grew up in families, they have no place to return in case they do not succeed in achieving their independence. The thesis includes a theoretical part which focuses on the issue of socialization, its definition, objectives and mechanisms, as well as on the significance of family during the process of one´s socialization. This part also identifies the specifics of children´s socialization in children´s homes, and also on risks associated with institutional education. It than discusses the process of leaving children´s home and one´s further possibilities and perspectives, respectively in a close connection to the social system and its available services and forms of support. The liaison between the theoretical and practical part is a chapter devoted to the social care organization ?Rozmarýna, o.p.s.?, describing its objectives, principles and specific programs. The practical part consists of four case studies that focus not only on youth just before they leave children´s home, but also on those youth who already left children´s home. The bachelor thesis helped me to gain a perspective on the issue of young adults leaving children´s home, as well as to find out what their problems are, how they solve them, and what the causes of their problems are.
