Abstract
This study implements school social work with the goal of developing family preservation in high-risk families. The results show a decline in the child's problematic behaviors during school hours and a change in the manner in which the caregiver/guardian related with the child. Moreover, in providing child family support, consultation based on sufficient knowledge of the family and advice formulated in a manner that suited the family's present circumstances were much more effective than consultation or advice that used specialized terms. Therefore, a school social worker's consultation skills and responsibilities are of monumental importance. This study reflects upon the importance of using a multi-faceted support system when accounting for every aspect of the environment in which the child grows up.
The study concludes that child family support under school social work is an effective mechanism for family preservation, as well as for the creation of a cooperative community that provides support to families struggling to sustain livelihood. These are pivotal factors in securing a desirable child-rearing environment.
