“…Just like the closely related term multi-problem, the term complex needs refers to adversities that are distinct in terms of gravity, scope, and persistence (Marsh et al 2012;Sanders 2011;Sousa and Rodrigues 2009;Tausendfreund et al 2016). It also implies a situation where multiple social problems or adversities (such as poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, criminality, mental/physical illness or disability, and difficulties providing children with adequate care and protection) exist simultaneously and interlock in various ways (Sousa and Eusébio 2007;Spratt 2011).…”

This article highlights organizational structure as a factor influencing conditions for helping relations. It is based on a survey study and an interview study, both directed at parents in families that have parallel contacts in different parts of Swedish personal social services (PSS). The aim is to describe and analyse conditions for helping relations when clients with complex needs encounter specialized PSS. Low system trust, people processing dimensions of work, and an organizational and a professional emphasis on formal organizational structures and boundaries were found to constitute unfavourable conditions. Conversely, an occurrence of individual trust, people sustaining and people changing dimensions of work, as well as informal organization and individual social workers' boundary spanning efforts, constituted favourable conditions. The article concludes that greater understanding of how clients are affected by contextual service conditions can give some pointers towards how to generally improve services for vulnerable and disadvantaged populations.

“…Gezinnen met meerdere problemen blijken vaker ontevreden over de geleverde zorg, wat kan leiden tot een vicieuze cirkel, waarbij het gezin vroegtijdig stopt, om later weer terug te keren in de zorg als problemen onopgelost blijven [4]. Om de zorg voor multiprobleemgezinnen efficiënter te laten verlopen wordt veel gebruikgemaakt van de methode 1Gezin1Plan.…”

“…The aim of these preservation programmes is to prevent out‐of‐home placement of children whose development is threatened by multiple and complex family problems, such as psychiatric problems, disturbed relationships, maltreatment and abuse, parental issues, absence of social resources, and frequent contact with legal authorities. (Tausendfreund, Knot‐Dickscheit, Schulze, Knorth, & Grietens, ). In these complex family situations, FCS represents a paradigm shift away from traditional child‐centred services (CCSs) that are deficit‐based and problem‐based and primarily focus on child treatment and protection (Van Veelen, Regeer, Broerse, Van de Poel, & Dinkgreve, ).…”

The aim of this study was to examine changes in parental empowerment and child behavioural problems during a period of youth care and how changes are related to the kind of services provided. We compared a preservation service that was familycentred (FCS) with out-of-home services that were primarily child-centred (CCS).The sample consisted of 621 families who were supported by FCS (n = 434) or CCS (n = 137). Information about parental empowerment and child behavioural problems was gathered at the start and end of youth care. Significant changes during treatment were identified with t tests and effect sizes. Significant improvements emerged on all empowerment scales for FCS but only on the behavioural control subscale for CCS.Moreover, significant improvements emerged on all child behavioural scales for both FCS as CCS. Cross-lagged analysis showed that the kind of service, in favour of FCS, predicted parental empowerment but not child behavioural problems. Parental empowerment and child behavioural problems were negatively related. This paper discusses the potential for parental empowerment and FCS elements in CCS out-of-home care and the need for follow-up research on this subject.
