Certificate Course Family Council
Revolutionary setting of child and youth welfare services
Empowerment, resource activation and participation are often inflationary headings in the psycho-social field. In the case of family councils, these terms take on a completely new quality. The family council is a setting in child and youth welfare that is still revolutionary in Austria, but extremely promising.
Debunk worries
The aim of the method is to develop a good and safe plan in case of existing family problems, which invalidates the worries of the family and those of the social workers, especially when making decisions about the well-being of the children and adolescents in the family system. The family network is activated to develop and implement individually appropriate solutions.
