Sažetak
By now we could say that the twentieth century was “ the century of the child” and perhaps no other era has ever positioned the “ child” so high. Ideas and intentions in many world programs and proclamations such as “ society focused on children” or “ communities that care” (Hawkins, Catalano, 1992) have put the “ child” and the “ child needs” forward. Despite all no other century has left so many open questions such as: how to decrease an area of danger and risk factors in development of youth or how to increase the areas of strength and competencies in youth as a base of increasing their resilience in existing individual risk and potentially dangerous environments. General speaking there is more and more evident and growing perception (public and professional) of increasing and worsening problems in children and youth. Recent research of the efficiency of preventive and treatment interventions towards children and youth with behavior disorders have suggested the change of course in interventions from pathology and risk to the strengths and competencies of an individual and his environment. The goal of this poster is to present the backgruond of this project. Main aim of prezented research is finding the model that would simultaneously be described thought positive development of young person, strengthening families, schools, and caring communities, as well as promote health, education and protection. The starting point in this research is the hypothesis that there are many risk and protective factors which play an important part in the progression of behavior disorders in children and youth, allot which are at the level of a child, young adult, family, school and local community. Considering that the research will be carried out in one county (Istria) we expect the results which will enable the implementation on that area as well as the transfer of experience to other communities together with the necessary modification, supervision and evaluation. The sample comprises elementary and high school children, their parents/families, teacher and other professional stuff and key persons in the community. By multivariate processing of information the correct conclusion about the carried out research will be available. This research will lay out the foundations to national strategy of the Republic of Croatia for prevention of behavior disorder in children and youth.
