Family work

Services for children, youth and families

Family work under the Social Welfare Act supports and guides your family in matters related to wellbeing. The service involves supporting parenting, guiding the care and upbringing of the children, managing the everyday life and routines at home, strengthening the family's ability to function in new situations, supporting the family's interaction skills, expanding the family's social networks and preventing exclusion. Family work is granted on the basis of a service needs assessment made by a so…cial worker if your child is in need of special support.

The aim is to support your family's life management skills, mobilise your resources and strengthen your ability to cope in everyday situations. Family work is planned and goal-oriented support for families where the goals are set together with the family, the social worker in charge and social instructors.

Family work centres around conversations that aim for change, yet we utilise a variety of functional methods. Networking is also a key aspect of the work. The service is free of charge and usually provided at the client's home. The frequency of meetings depends on the objectives. The work is intended for the whole family, and it can be arranged for two homes (for example with separated families). Family work is subject to a social welfare decision.

Prerequisites

Family work is provided to client families of the wellbeing services county with children aged 0-17 in need of special support. The content and objectives of family work are written down in a client plan together with your social worker.

To receive family work under the Social Welfare Act, you must be a client of family social work services. You can apply for family work under the Social Welfare Act with the help of a social worker.
