THE SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT OF CHILDREN FROM HOMELESS SHELTERS: AN AREA OF APPLICATION OF CRITICAL REFLEXIVITY IN SOCIAL WORK
Original language description
On a global scale, the number of families with homeless children is growing. Foreign research shows thathomelessness is linked to social adjustment problems. In the Czech Republic there are no surveys on social adjustment in thehomeless children population. This article presents partial data from a research survey focused on the situation of homelessmothers with children residing in shelters. The article aims to find out how mothers residing with their children in homelessshelters in the city of Ostrava interpret the social adjustment of their children. The research strategy is qualitative, based on aparticipatory approach (cooperation with two peer researchers). 33 interviews and 6 focus groups were implemented as partof the research. The research findings also point to a close link between the situation of homelessness and social adjustmentof homeless children in the Czech environment, namely as a result of the necessity of socialization in a specific environmentwith negative consequences on the parenting style and success in school of the children combined with their experience ofdomestic violence. The research findings imply in practice the need to apply the concept of critical reflexivity in social workwith children from homeless shelters.
