Graduation Thesis discusses the problem of the support network of adolescents in the residential group when completing their stay. I have been researching what kind of supportive network the adolescents have in the residential group when they finish their stay. The problem relates therefore to the appropriate and qualitative support network in the residential group at the end of the stay. Adequate support for adolescents allows them to express directly emotions, tendencies, desires, opinions, resistances and well-being. In the same period, adolescents are most vulnerable because they must leave the housing group and if they do not have a well-diversified support network, the transition can be very difficult and have consequences in the future. At the same time, I compared how it is with support in the interim period of stay in the residential group and how it is now that they are completing the stay. In the final period, it follows the upgrading of the preparation for remission.
My research was based on residential groups only. A qualitative research approach has been used in the empirical work, and interviews with adolescents have been implemented. The sample covers 10 adolescents from residential groups. I have focused on high-school adolescents who are still in the residential group and are at the time of departure from the residential group. It is important that young workers have been more intensively discussing the process of self-conquest and the future with adolescents. It is important to have an integrated and qualitative treatment of children since their arrival, until the time of departure. This adolescent acquires the necessary autonomy and accountability. The key is with whom he has social contacts during this period and how much they support him in its path.
I was relying mainly on the theory of dismissal, the principles and care of children and adolescents in residential groups, joint work with parents, educators and social work centres, as well as on the theory of youth and self-conquest. My theory relates to only a period of youth, social network, support relations in the residential group and beyond, and only the structure of the residential group. Greater focus is on the concept of empowerment, participation and integration, the theory of attachment and family model work in the residential group. I am involved in this theory because it only describes a period of youth in which adolescents are found in the Housing group and the way of work and support in and out of the residential group. The findings show the views of adolescents about their support network and their fears and suggestions for improving support. A need for a better cooperation with the family and support for the professional team of young people in relation to the family situation has been identified. The need is also a number of activities and projects of adolescents outside the residential group. It is important to cooperate well in advance between the social work Centre, the court, the educators and the parents of the adolescent. It would take a greater emphasis on the family situation, as it often happens that it does not even solve the course of a teenager's stay in a residential group.
