Description:

The purpose of the course is to introduce students with basic concepts related to the process of development and prevention of psycho-social problems, with different types of prevention and approaches in preventive social work. Through participation in experiential forms of work, students have the opportunity to develop their practical skills needed for future independent implementation of the preventive interventions and participation in other forms of preventive work.

Course description
- Historical overview of prevention and preventive interventions
- Models and levels of prevention
- The theoretical basis of prevention
- Concept: Risk and protective factors, resistance, strengthening and promotion of mental health
- The concept and types of prevention
- Prevention and socio-political framework
- Prevention in Social Work
- Comprehensiveness strategy of preventive interventions
- Preventive interventions / projects / programs aimed at individual, family, immediate environment and community
- Planning and implementation of prevention projects / programs
- Application access of the " Little creative socialisation group " approach
- Evaluation, verification and supervision of preventive programs.

Cognitive Skills:

Knowledge and understanding

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

- define the concept and types of prevention and theoretical settings of the development of comprehensive strategies of preventive interventions,

- recognise and understand models and levels of prevention,

- explain the concepts of: risk and protective factors, resistance, developmental advantages, positive development and promotion of mental health,

- identify risk and protective factors encountered by an individual/group on different levels of the ecosystem, and

- explain basic principles of planning, implementing and evaluation prevention programs/projects in the area of social work.

Application

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

- use knowledge from the area of prevention science in order to recognise risks and protective factors in the environment with the aim of assessing needs and planning prevention programs/projects in the area of social work,

- distinguish levels of prevention programs and select an appropriate option of prevention program in accordance with the implemented assessment of needs/risks,

- apply basic principles of planning, implementing and evaluating prevention programs/projects,

- outline a proposal of prevention program/project in social work on the basis of assessed needs,

- apply basic principles and techniques of mobilisation of resources and sensibilisation of social environment for the needs of individuals/groups in vulnerable situations.

Analysis

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

- categorise different models and levels of prevention,

- connect knowledge from the area of prevention science with the organisation of prevention program,

- indicate different levels of risks present on all levels of ecosystem (individual, family, narrow environment and community) and connect them with possible prevention interventions,

- distinguish interventions in the social welfare system in accordance with intervention spectre (from prevention interventions to interventions to reflect the condition),

- analyse characteristics of efficient prevention programs in social welfare system.

Synthesis

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

- organise a prevention program/project in the context of social welfare system on the basis of recognised needs and/or risks,

- construct a theoretical background of a prevention program/project,

- propose evaluation of the prevention program,

- plan implementation of the program in real environment.

Evaluation

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

- select different theoretical approaches with the aim of recognising risks and protective factors on different levels of ecosystem,

- assess the presence of risk and protective factors on different levels of the ecosystem,

- compare advantages and disadvantages of different models and levels of prevention.

Practical and Generic Skills:

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

-analytically and creatively consider on the basis of acquired learning outcomes,

- express themselves in a clear, well structured text explaining their standpoints.

- present acquired learning outcomes orally and in writing,

- develop communication skills

- work in a team in the process of completing tasks.

Matching Assessments to Learning Outcomes:

Assessment of acquired learning outcomes in the course is conducted through various forms of teaching - theoretical lectures, practice and workshops and through several modalities:

- written proposal of preventive program/project in social work

- oral examination

- workshop in smaller groups and participation in group discussions.
