Childhood, adolescence, youth and family relations

Description

Children, adolescents and young people constitute the future of the new societies. Family relationships operate in unison with global changes: the family has lost the capacity to generate synergies on its own and needs guidance to overcome them. Family societies have lost the intensity they had in previous decades, due to the processes of individualisation and the loss of collective values. Therefore, it is a commitment of GESinn to analyse the socialisation processes of adolescents and the family networks of which they form part, to investigate their risks, to prevent difficulties and to promote and strengthen the mechanisms of social adjustment for the development of a positive life. The aim of the study is to investigate adolescence from different intervention perspectives: prevention, protection and re-education. The previous professional experience of the members of GESinn in the care of this group constitutes an added value to the empirical dimension.
