About this service

Description

The child, parents who are considering giving up a child for adoption and persons who wish to adopt a child must receive adoption counselling both before and after an adoption is confirmed. Adoption counselling applies to both domestic, international and intrafamily adoptions. The purpose of adoption counselling is to supervise the best interests of the child. Adoption counselling helps applicants assess their capacity to be adoptive parents and prepare for parenthood. In the counselling it is examined whether the preconditions for adoption exist and whether it is possible to agree on the contact between the child and the child’s previous parents. Adoption is a judicial act. It entails the transfer of the rights and responsibilities of the parent to the child’s adoptive parents. The child is given the same legal status in the adoptive family as a biological child. The adoption relationship cannot be terminated. I Soite, adoption counselling is offered through the organization Save the Children.

Perhehoidon tavoitteena on antaa perhehoidossa olevalle henkilölle mahdollisuus kodinomaiseen hoitoon ja läheisiin ihmissuhteisiin sekä edistää hänen perusturvallisuuttaan ja sosiaalisia suhteitaan.

About this service

Description

A support person or support family can be arranged for a child when there are challenges and need for support in the child’s own family, and the natural support network is unable to provide sufficient support for the child and family. The aim when organizing a support family or support person is to help a child or siblings and their families and to ensure the health and development of the child. Children and adolescents who have meetings with a support person are usually between 12 and 17 years old. A child or adolescent has a meeting with a support person 1-4 times a month for a few hours at a time, and they to do things together, for example have a hobby. Children visiting a support family are usually between the ages of 3 and 12. The child usually visits the support family one weekend a month and, if needed, during holidays. At the beginning of the support relationship, a negotiation is held in order to agree on the objectives and duration of the support relationship and on the number of visits and on transportation. The service is free of charge. For more information, contact the support relationship coordinator or the service guidance for families with children.

How to use it

The granting of a support person or support family requires a social welfare customership.

About this service

Description

Soiten asiakasohjaus ja kotiin järjestettävät tukipalvelut tarjoavat tukea ikäihmisen arkeen. Asiakasohjaus ja kotiin järjestettävät tukipalvelut -yksikkö koordinoi ikäihmisten kotiin annettavia ja kuntoutumista edistäviä palveluita. Tavoitteena on mahdollistaa turvallinen kotiasuminen ikäihmiselle tukipalveluiden keinoin sekä kotihoidon tukeminen ja palvelu- tai laitosasumiseen siirtymisen pitkittäminen. Omaishoitajuuden tukeminen on merkittävä osa ikääntyneiden avopalveluita. Perhehoito on olennainen osa kotona asumisen tukea. Lähtökohtana kaikissa palveluissa on ylläpitää voimavaroja, toimintakykyä ja hyvää arkea asiakkaan omassa kodissa.

Conditions

Tuen ja palvelutarpeen arviointi tehdään aina silloin kun herää huoli ikäihmisen arjessa selviämisestä ilman toisen henkilön apua. Arviointi tapahtuu keskustellen, havainnoiden ja testaamalla. Näyttöön perustuvaa tietoa hyödynnetään arviointia tehdessä. Ikäihmisen tarvitsemien arkea helpottavien palveluiden kartoittaminen on osa kotona tehtävää palvelutarpeen arviointia. Arvioinnissa painottuu ikäihmisen toimintakykyä heikentävien riskitekijöiden ennakointi ja kartoittaminen, joita ovat muun muassa terveydentilan epävakaus, runsas lääkitys ja heikko ravitsemustila. Kotikäynnin aikana asiakkaan kanssa tehdään asumisturvallisuusselvitys sekä kartoitetaan esimerkiksi mahdollisten apuvälineiden tarve. Arviointikäynnit ovat asiakkaalle aina maksuttomia. Soiten asiakasohjauksessa ja kotiin järjestettävissä tukipalveluissa käytetään RAI-tietojärjestelmää ikääntyneiden kuntoutumista edistävien palveluiden suunnittelussa, arvioinnissa ja kehittämisessä.

Becoming a support family

A support family can help a family with children when support is needed and there are no relatives or friends around.

About this service

Description

The everyday life of a family with children is eventful and rewarding, but at times also demanding and trying for the parents. Many families receive support from their immediate circle when needed, but not all have a helping network nearby. A support family can help a family with children when support is needed and there are no relatives or friends around. The need for a support family may be caused by a child’s need of special care, a sudden crisis in the child’s family, or another kind of difficult situation in the family. As a rule, children who visit a support family are between the ages of 3 and 12. The child usually visits the support family one weekend a month and, if needed, during holidays. The child who receives support is involved in the ordinary everyday life of the support family and gets new stimuli and makes new friends and forms new relationships with adults to support their development. At the same time, the support family helps the child’s parents to cope by giving them the opportunity to take a breather. Children in need of a support family are of different ages and have different needs, so different kinds of families are also needed as support families. A support family can be a person living alone or a couple, they can be childless, or they can have children of their own. Committing to becoming a support family is a joint decision made by all family members. Becoming a support family requires a stable life situation, a positive outlook on life, ability to cooperate and commitment to volunteer activities. This is because children often visit to support families for years. Compensation is paid for being a support family.

How to use it

You can become a support family via Soite for a child or an adolescent who needs one. New volunteers receive an introduction to and schooling about beeing a support family. Persons who wish to become a support family must fill in an application. The social advisor gives more information.

About this service

Description

A support person is an adult outside of the child's or adolescent’s home who meets the child or adolescent 1-4 times a month. The meetings are a few hours long and are spent doing things together, for example having a hobby. We are looking for balanced, reliable and committed adults of different ages. Both an adult living alone and an adult with a family can act as a support person. Those who need support are usually between the ages of 12 and 17. The support person can support the child in everyday matters, such as finding a hobby, problems related to school or social relationships. A support person can support an adolescent who is becoming independent in practical matters related to starting an independent life. The activities are based on the interaction and cooperation between the child and the support person. An important part of being a support person is cooperation with the child’s parents, a social worker and perhaps the child’s other network. Compensation is paid for being a support person.

How to use it

You can become a support person via Soite for a child or an adolescent who needs one. New volunteers are given an introduction to and schooling about beeing a support person. Persons who wish to become a support person must fill in an application. The social advisor gives more information.

About this service

Description

The services of a child health clinic psychologist are intended for children under school-age whose development presents special challenges.

Such problems may be for example: * The child has difficulty concentrating or is very active. * The child doesn’t seem to learn things like other children of the same age. * The behaviour of a child is significantly different compared to other children of the same age. The client work also includes counselling and guidance for the parents. In addition, the child health clinic psychologist collaborates with others who work with children under school age and their families and participates in the planning of the child’s rehabilitation.

How to use it

In order to be able to go to a child health clinic psychologist, a referral is required for example from a maternity and child health clinic, a doctor or a rehabilitation provider (speech, occupational and physiotherapists).
