Schulsozialarbeit im Kontext jugendlicher Lebenswelten und Problembewältigung: Eine qualitative Nutzer*innenforschung auf Basis offener Leitfadeninterviews

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Forschungsfrage: In welchen Kontexten und auf welche Art und Weise nutzen Schüler*innen die Schulsozialarbeit, welchen Nutzen ziehen sie aus der sozialen Dienstleistung für sich und welche Empfehlungen lassen sich für die Praxis der Schulsozialarbeit ableiten? Dazu werden elf offene Leitfadeninterviews mit ehemaligen Nutzer*innen der Schulsozialarbeit geführt und mit der Dokumentarischen Methode ausgewertet. Es zeigt sich, dass für den erfolgreichen Erstkontakt zur Schulsozialarbeit eine Hilfesuchkultur der Schule, die Sichtbarkeit der Schulsozialarbeit an der Schule und problemsensible Lehrkräfte, die Schulsozialarbeit als Ressource betrachten, förderlich sind. Großen Einfluss auf das Zustandekommen des Kontaktes und auf die weitere Nutzung haben nicht nur die institutionellen Bedingungen der Schulsozialarbeit vor Ort, sondern auch die Umsetzung der Handlungsprinzipien der Sozialen Arbeit durch die Schulsozialarbeiter*innen. Auf welche Weise Schulsozialarbeit genutzt wird, hängt sowohl von den Themen der Beratung als auch von den Nutzungstypen ab. Insgesamt wird deutlich, welche zentrale Bedeutung Schulsozialarbeit im Leben von Jugendlichen haben kann.

Schutz vor sexueller Gewalt und Übergriffen in Institutionen: Für die Leitungspraxis in Gesundheitswesen, Jugendhilfe und Schule

Leitungskräfte in Einrichtungen, die mit Kindern arbeiten, haben eine ganz besondere Verantwortung den Schutzbefohlenen gegenüber. Sie müssen sowohl präventiv arbeiten und entsprechende Konzepte anbieten als auch im Ernstfall wissen, wie sie jetzt vorgehen müssen. Die Implementierung von richtigen Schutzkonzepten fällt aber keiner Leitungskraft mit Führungsverantwortung in den Schoß. Deshalb gibt es nun dieses Buch, das sowohl in theoretischer Einführung als auch ganz explizit praktischen Falltrainings zeigt, wie man als Führungsperson seine Einrichtung für den Fall aller Fälle wappnet oder mit klaren Regeln dafür sorgt, dass dieser möglichst nie eintritt. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Missbrauchsfälle, sondern auch ganz allgemein um die Wahrung der Rechte von Kindern. Inklusive über 20 Videos zum Ansehen über die Multimedia App.

Schutzkonzepte gegen sexualisierte Gewalt in medizinischen Einrichtungen für Kinder und Jugendliche

Medizinische Einrichtungen sind Orte, die der Pflege bei und Behandlung von Erkrankungen dienen, an denen es aber auch zu Gewalt und Vernachlässigung gegen Patientinnen und Patienten kommen kann. Seit November 2020 ist es deshalb aufgrund einer Vorgabe des Gemeinsamen Bundesausschusses (G-BA) für medizinische Einrichtungen verpflichtend, ein Schutzkonzept gegen (sexualisierte) Gewalt zu entwickeln. Für die Entwicklung von Schutzkonzepten im medizinisch-therapeutischen Bereich gab es bisher kaum umfassende Handreichungen. Das vorliegende Buch schließt diese Lücke: Die Autorinnen und Autoren gehen zunächst auf die spezifischen Merkmale des medizinisch-therapeutischen Arbeitskontextes ein und geben generelle Hinweise zur Entwicklung von Schutzkonzepten. Anschließend stellen sie die Elemente eines Schutzkonzeptes vor und geben praxisnahe Empfehlungen für dessen Entwicklung, Umsetzung und Evaluation. Zu jedem Element regen ergänzende Arbeitsblätter mit Übungen und Reflexionen zur Umsetzung in der eigenen Institution an. Darüber hinaus werden jeweils auch Hinweise zur Adaption an verschiedene Settings gegeben: den kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen und somatischen Bereich, stationäre oder ambulante Strukturen sowie die Übertragung auf andere Zielgruppen (z.B. die Betreuung von Menschen mit Behinderung). Darstellungen von Schutzprozessen in verschiedenen Kliniken machen als Praxisbeispiele deutlich, dass es nicht den einen “Königsweg” zum Schutzkonzept gibt.Das Buch versteht sich als Praxishandbuch und richtet sich an Ärztinnen und Ärzte, Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten sowie alle anderen Fachkräfte im medizinisch-therapeutischen Bereich, die Schutzmaßnahmen entwickeln möchten - damit Kliniken und Praxen Schutzorte bleiben, statt zum Tatort zu werden.
