Využití mentorství u mladých dospělých opouštějících ústavní a ochrannou výchovu při návratu do přirozeného sociálního prostředí
The use of mentoring in young adults leaving residential care when returning to the natural social environment

Summary/Abstract: The presented text takes the form of a theoretical study. The aim of this study is to present how the concept of social support can be used for young adults leaving residential care to facilitate their return to the natural social environment. The introduction describes the current state of deinstitutionalization of care for children and adolescents in the Czech Republic. It is followed by the issue of transition, i.e. the period of the young adult's return to the natural social environment. Transition places increased demands on young adults in terms of their social functioning, which can lead to social failure and, in extreme cases, social exclusion; in this context, the text is based on the typology of transition success according to Mike Stein. Furthermore, the study deals with the definition and conceptualization of social support and presents a 5D model of social support accompanied by a model of youth mentoring by Jean Rhodes. The text concludes with the issue of mentoring, with an emphasis on juvenile mentoring, and discusses whether mentoring can be considered the optimal type of social support for young adults in transition.
