The content of this bachelor thesis is psychospiritual crisis from the perspective of pastoral and social work. In the theoretical part I describe the forms and manifestations of psychospiritual crisis and try to explain how this crisis differs from mental illness. I place the issue in the context of pastoral and social work. In the practical part there are individual interviews with pastoral and social workers that are part of the research. I have used a case study as the research design. The selection of respondents was based on a theoretical sampling of the data, which I then interpreted through content analysis.

Funding possibilities of social enterprises.
Maščeníková, Miroslava ; Dohnalová, Marie (advisor) ; Hudcová, Eliška (referee)
Thesis focus on funding possibilities of social enterprises in Czech Republic, different ways of funding from various sources and the ability of enterprises to reach these resources. Work has theoretical and empirical character. The theoretical part comes with overview of the history of social enterprises in Europe and in the Czech Republic, their development and legislative framework. Part of the work is devoted to theories of civic sector organizations, on the basis of which I am trying to point out the factors that might have an impact on financing social enterprises. Social enterprises tend to have other sources of funding than those that are available for commercial business. In connection with these sources, the common term to describe it, is multi-source or hybrid financing. Empirical part is preceded by an analysis of hybrid financial instruments that are available in the Czech Republic and which are designed specifically for social enterprises. Empirical part is composed of analysis of financial reports from selected social enterprises and demonstrates the true structure of financial resources for the studied period.

Social Farming and Czech Social Farms (A Case Study)
Hudcová, Eliška ; Dohnalová, Marie (advisor) ; Lubelcová, Gabriela (referee) ; Moudrý, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the phenomenon of social farming; its aim is to describe this phenomenon, understand it and critically discuss it in the context of social economics and social entrepreneurship. The text also proposes other frames of thought - social integration and social work, multifunctional agriculture, the Green Care concept and the social entrepreneurial theory in which social farming can be considered. The thesis also gives insight into foreign and Czech socio-agricultural practice. It uses methodology based on the principles of exploratory and descriptive case studies since it focuses on a small sample of a phenomenon not yet described in which context and content are observed. The study is divided into two sections: a theoretical part and a research part, each of which draw on professional literature, semi-structured in-depth interviews with representatives of social farms, other primary data and documents and secondary sources. The analysis of the research results displays an assessment of Czech social agriculture, which can be described as delayed when compared to western Europe, mainly due to the historical development of agriculture and social arenas of the last seventy years, while also serving as a reaction to certain contemporary social trends. The outputs suggest typology of...
