Summary/Abstract: Marginalized people are facing socio-economic challenges that are difficult to overcome without early intervention and without specialized support: lack of jobs, poor access to health services, lack of sources of income, increased cost of living, increased indirect costs related to education and school attendance, low school attendance on the part of children and young people. The measures of early detection of social risk and intervention situations lead to positive effects in preventing marginalization and social exclusion. In this sense, problems were identified in the early detection of the risk factors favoring, raised by the lack of proactive provision of preventive services in the community, the lack of communication between the social service providers and the local institutions, respectively the mismatch between the actions of the different organizations regarding the identification of cases in risk situations and the monitoring of interventions. Prevention of risk situations for vulnerable families (low-income families, single-parent families or those with 2 or more children) or socially marginalized people (homeless people, Roma people, people in emergency situations), can be achieved through concrete measures of financial / material support, specific and adapted to the individual needs; information and advisory services to facilitate access to education, employment, health, housing; awareness raising and awareness campaigns to promote positive models, community principles and values, especially on issues related to discrimination of any kind.
