Abstract

The author deals with the social work concept of Mobile Youth Work strives for inclusion and consists of Street Work, Case Work, Group Work and Community Work.

The social work concept of "Mobile Youth Work" strives for inclusion and consists of Street Work, Case Work, Group Work and Community Work. All four practical elements concentrate in one holistic approach. They must be based on a social area analysis, which is in each case different from the other.

It is a practical and effective tool to reduce social problems and juvenile delinquency under children and youth at risk. It is a tool to overcome their exclusion from society i.e. families, schools friends, neighborhoods, communities, training and employment places.

In general it should be seen and used for the improvement of the living conditions -- especially of excluded children and youth in the context of their families.
