Progress and long time effects of the animation as a method of work with adolescents
Burianová, Kateřina ; Kohoutek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Valešová Malecová, Barbara (referee)
Diploma thesis "The course and long-term effects of animation as a method of working with adolescents" deals with the methods of working with endangered youth in the field and in the low-threshold facility for children and youth. It represents the reflection of the development of the methodology of the work of a particular organization in the Vltava housing estate in České Budějovice in the perspective of six years, when the author also worked here with a break. This time perspective makes it possible to help assess whether and to what extent the chosen approach appears to be effective. Above all, it allows to monitor the development of clients' life paths during a sensitive period from adolescence to adulthood. The potential of animation over other guiding and prevention systems can be to focus on activation, respect for life situations and the needs of clients, which are largely developmental, but also reflects social and psychological deficits in specific individual cases as well as in group life. Phenomenologically and ethnographically oriented research follows the previous author's qualification work and monitors the development of the contact center client community in the context of workers' suggestions and spontaneous life events. It is also complemented by a trio of individual case studies...

Services Institution for Children and Youth Srdíčko - Jiloro from the Perspective of the Target Group
LEVÁ, Monika
Children who grow up in dysfunctional families where they do not have required educational care and model are nowadays focused as frequented. The number of reasons why is a child on the edge of parents´ interests is increasing. Those children are exposed to risky factors much more than the others, because they lack of protection and an educational model. Society´s reaction to this situation is building Low Threshold Institutions which offer ambulatory or filed services to children or youngsters who are endangered by social exclusion. In a theoretical part, there is a comprehensive introduction of issues connected with these building Low Threshold Institutions for children and youngsters (NZDM further). These issues are clearly arranged into chapters which represent legislative fixing of NZDM, its rules and standards. A history of NZDM which has been developed in the Czech Republic dynamically since the 90s to a present form is a part of another chapter. Principles of NZDM, inner rules of provided services, employees and their personal dispositions, education and ethical norms are also describes, as well as services and activities of NZDM which are mainly of advisory and preventive character. The last chapter deals with a target group, which is affected by inner factors primarily developmental psychology of potential clients and outer factors which are socialization ones. A research is based on a qualitative approach where a point of view of the target group on NZDM Srdíčko Jiloro was found out with the aid of data fixing. Another points of interest was employees´ point of view, their professional perception of provided services. Last but not least, subjective view of NZDM from some clients´ parents was put into the research, too. The first aim of the thesis was to find out whether and which relevance the services of NZDM Srdíčko Jiloro have got for the clients. The second one was to identify how the work with clients is going on (e.g. contact work, work with educational situations, motivational dialogues and work with drug themes). Under the terms of an empirical thesis part are introduced data which were gathered into following results NZDM Srdíčko Jiloro has got its own irreplaceable role in the area of Okružní, but the clients are not aware of the fact that NZDM has got any influence on them. They do not use any other alternatives for spending their free time. There are 40 clients and only 2 social workers every day. Clients do not talk about their problems, they say they do not need help. Advantages are that social workers learn with them, help them with their homework, etc. They are also aware of using of leisure time activities and workshops. Social workers and information in files and records of services and activities prove that clients have got problems. These are mostly very grave and that is another reason why Okružní has got its important role. Social workers provide especially consulting, information and situational service, preventive and educational programmes, work with close relatives, etc. Professionals in NZDM and Rehabilitation and Activation Service Sasanka work with whole families and they try to offer complex support and help. Social workers guide clients through their childhood and maturing, they are becoming their guides and mentors, they lead them to positive changes and have got mainly socialization and educative effect. Work with the clients in Okružní is more hectic than in other NZDMs. I think it is primarily because the social workers want to offer services to a maximal number of clients but with the lack of employees and time. Leisure time activities are going on in an ordinary way, but work with children and youngsters in a social unacceptable area needs specific professional and human attitudes and approaches. Because of poor personal sources are social workers forced to a negative trend provide services rather in a quantitative than in a qualitative way.

Prevention Programs in selected Low-Threshold Facilities for Children and Youth in South Bohemia
PROKOPOVÁ, Klára
Low-Threshold Facility for Children and Youth is a service quite newly established. The function of the Low-Threshold Facility for Children and Youth is to help children and youth between the ages from 6 to 26 from being socially excluded as well as to help them enjoy a more incentive environment by means of various leisure activities. In the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis I am dealing with Low-threshold Facility for Children and Youth from its establishment, to the mission of this facility and goals that are layed out. Greater attention will be given to a target group ? to children and youth, since my investigation is concerned by them. I am presenting legal anchorage of the facility as well and I am describing methods and interventions that are being realised here. I have also included factors that influence leisure time of the youth, such as family, school, peers or the media, into the thesis. The last part of the theoretical part is dedicated to preventive programmes and the role of the social worker in preventive programmes. In the practical part of the bachelor thesis the intention of this thesis is mentioned, it is to describe which preventive programmes are being realised in selected Low-Threshold Facilities for Children and Youth in the South Bohemian Region. Another intention is to describe the perception of preventive programmes by a regular participant. Research questions are presented here as well, they are: 1) What preventive programmes are there in selected Low-threshold Facilities for Children and Youth in the South Bohemian Region? 2) Does the user perceive the preventive programmes as beneficial or as disturbing? To achieve the goal, a strategy of qualitative research was selected, I have used the method of survey, a technique of half-structured interview. As a complementary technique I have chosen data analysis, which consisted in analysing documents of these facilities. The selected group was formed by regular users of preventive programmes in selected Low-threshold Facilities for Children and Youth in the South Bohemian Region. The second selected group was formed by social workers, who work in these facilities. An important criteria when selecting Low-threshold Facilities for Children and Youth was the existence of comprehensive conception of primary prevention. Another criteria was the location of these facilities, I have determined that each facility must be established in a different town of the South Bohemian Region. By this I wanted to achieve greater variety of preventive programmes. I have therefore chosen low-threshold facility V.I.P. located in České Budějovice, low-threshold facilitiy Bouda located in the city Český Krumlov and low-threshold facility Bongo that functions in the city Týn nad Vltavou. From the interpreted results of the research clearly results that preventive programmes of all facilities are on a good level. I have proposed following hypotheses in terms of this thesis: H1: Preventive programs in Low-Threshold Facilities for Children and Youth are based on the needs of the client, rather than themes set by social workers. H2: Clients of the Preventive programs in Low-Threshold Facilities for Children and Youth evaluated as a beneficial form of a preventive program, movie nights before talks. From the information acquired during the interviews it is possible to obtain a good feed-back from clients on organized preventive programmes they took part in. Social workers working in already mentioned facilities could use the results interpretation along with the formation of other preventive programmes a try to harmonize them with clients´ opinions. The results can as well be a good source of information for all providers of preventive programmes.

Virtual communication and how it can be used in low-threshold facilities for children and youth
EGERMAIEROVÁ, Václava
The thesis is focused on the specifics of the social service called low-threshold facility for children and youth and how the virtual communication can be used to work with the clients of the service. In the theoretical part the low-threshold facilities for children and youth, range, principles and target audience of this social service are described. Also function and purpose of communication is described and the specifics of mobile and virtual communication are characterised. The possibilities how to use the mobile and virtual communication in basic and special social consultancy are another topic. The practical part is focused on mapping how the area of Czech Republic is covered with the facilities supplying the social service called low-threshold facility for children and youth. It also includes a survey research reflecting actual practise in using the virtual communication as a tool when working with clients in these facilities. In current facilities mainly e-mail and Facebook social network are used sometimes also Skype, ICQ application and other social networks. Current practise is very diverse because a complex professional methodical basis to supply this service model is still missing.

Needs Analysis of social prevention Services for Children and Youth in Třeboň
ŠEDIVÁ, Ivana
The mission of the low-threshold facility for children and youth is to aim for integration of children and youth into society and for positive change to the way of life of young people who find themselves in a severe social situation. Essential importance of this facility are its consulting and preventive activities which enable children and youth to have a chat or to open out and talk about their problems that can be dealt with through the help of the assistants. There is no such facility in Třeboň, children and youth have no direct specialised social service here, which would offer activities and help in their leisure time. Main target of my Bachelor?s Thesis is to map the need of low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň. The research was focused on two groups of people and their opinions, which are important for meeting the main target and partial targets of the thesis. The first group was children and youth of schools in Třeboň and the second group was professional public considering the theme of my thesis (educational consultants, headmasters, representatives of municipal Police, members of Třeboň municipality council, deputy heads of Třeboň schools etc.). The first partial target was to find out an interest in use of low-threshold facility in the municipality of Třeboň, the second partial target was to find what activities children would be interested in. The third partial target was to compare the opinions of respondents to the analysis of potential users of social services implemented within the process of development plan creation. There were defined two following hypotheses within the thesis. H1: More than a half of the interviewed students are interested in use of a low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň, H2: Potential clients of the low-threshold facility for children and youth expect especially an offer of pedagogical, educational and activation working. H1 and H2, which were analysed within a quantitative research using the method of questioning and the questionnaire technique, were proved. Children and youth of Třeboň schools would like to use such facility in the municipality of Třeboň. There was defined a research question within the thesis: Should the municipality of Třeboň financially support an establishment and operation of a low - threshold facility for children and youth in its territory? On the basis of a statement of professional public regarding this research question it is possible to say that 77, 7% interviewed from professional public think that Třeboň should financially support this facility and 22, 3% interviewed is on the opposite opinion. Low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň would help the municipality to control criminal activities of children and youth by offering a suitable and specialized service directly to them. Unorganised youth would spend their leisure time by doing activities which can serve as prevention against risk behaviour. The activities would be professionally secured. Based on the opinions of the above mentioned two groups on the low-threshold facility for children and youth in Třeboň and consequent assessment it is possible to use the results then as a background material for possible review of the social service development plan in Třeboň and to get closer to children and youth and their needs.
