A STUDY ON THE CHILDREN IN NEED OF PROTECTION AND THEIR FAMILY: A CASE EXAMPLE

Protecting the best interest of the child is of great importance in the organization of social benefits for the family. In order to achieve this goal, social work interventions should not merely provide social assistance to families, but also address the factors which lead to family dysfunctions and help families reach their full potential. In this article, the case of a father who has difficulties in taking care of his children for economic reasons and applies to the Provincial Directorate of Family and Social Policies* for social and economic benefits is presented. The planned change process designed in line with the ecological systems and empowerment approaches is explained in detail.
