Multicultural Family Support Centers (MFSC) have provided five program areas including family, gender equality, human rights, social integration, and counseling since 2015. It is important to examine the MFSC staff's perceptions of the family programs and program needs for multicultural families to improve the effectiveness of these programs. In this study, we aim to explore the staff's perceptions of the family programs and to assess multicultural family program needs based on the family life cycle. A total of 130 MFSC staff were recruited through 128 MFSCs across Korea. Descriptive statistics were conducted for data analysis. Our findings revealed that MFSC staff have increasingly recognized that their target audiences are not only marriage immigrants and their families but also foreign workers' families and families from North Korea. In addition, the MFSC staff identified the importance of family programs instead of only programs for individual family members and multicultural families' different program needs based on their family life cycle. Contrary to the positive perception of the family programs, they described challenges of the family programs including a shortage of funds, difficulty recruiting family member combinations (e.g., couples, parent-child) for family programs, a lack of a program manual, and a heavy workload. This study provides insights into the family programs including their development and delivery.

Based on the premise that perspectives or the frame of cognition may affect the ways that family practitioners support or intervene in families, this study aimed to investigate the perspectives of Certified Healthy Family Specialists (CHFS) on family practice in the Healthy Family Support Centers. A total of 9 CHFSs gave information about their beliefs and perspectives on family practice in in-depth interview. Additionally, 5 CHFS participated in focus group interview and gave information about their values, beliefs, and perspectives on family practice. Through qualitative analyses, four perspectives were found to be explicitly or implicitly carried by CHFSs: System theory perspective, Strengths perspective, Family cognition perspective, and Public intervention perspective. These four perspectives are currently leading themes of family research and are prospected to prevail in family support and intervention practices in the Healthy Family Support Centers in South Korea. Based on the results of qualitative analyses, directions and range of influence in perspectives on family practice perceived by CFHSs were discussed. In this study, the subject of Healthy Family Project, the CHFSs' aims, and emphasis on family practice were dealt with, and developmental direction establishment related to the Healthy Family Support Centers and CFHSs in the dimension of practice and policy in the future were implied.

This aim in this study is to investigate the meaning of case management and management in general from the case manger's perspective, as well as case mangers' abilities and networks. We also propose a development direction for the establishment of a local integrated family-centered community management system. Regarding the collection of qualitative data, focus group interviews (FGIs) were conducted with 11 case managers from social welfare organizations in the city of C. The interviews consisted of open-ended questions in the following four categories: understanding of case management, case managers' abilities, case management environments, and local community networks. According to the interview analysis, a total of 16 subcategories in 9 categories and 4 domains have been identified. Due to the ambiguity regarding the concept of case management, case management was completely dependent upon individual case managers' abilities. In particular, family-centered case management was found to exist in several organizations in the same region. In terms of case management environments, the following problems have been observed: absence of related departments and staff, confusion regarding performance evaluation standards, limitations in sharing information among organizations, limitations in resource exploration and management, redundant support, and an uncomfortable relationship between the private and public sector. Horizontal exchange and cooperation among organizations are essential to establish and facilitate a local community network. After all, to establish a local family-centered community case management system, the roles of a Healthy Families Center and a Multi-cultural Family Support Center as parts of a family-centered transfer system should be fully emphasized in local society, and the performance of family-centered case management should be developed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the educational program that is offered on the information menu in the homepage (Familynet) of the Healthy Family-Support Center (HFSC) and suggest developmental directions. For this purpose, first, it deduced that the managerial principles of the education program, from related theories, are included in the family-system, family-structure, family-structure analysis, family life-cycle and ecological system theories. Second, it analyzed the educational programs of 44 local centers that are connected to the homepage (familynet.or.kr) of HFSC. Finally, it suggested developmental directions for managerial improvements of educational programs. As a result, the most popular part in the educational program was parent education, especially the visiting-father education program. The number of couple-related education programs were fewer than those for parent education, because it is difficult for couples to be present at the same time. Family and Self-Cognition programs cover insufficient contents in the parent-education program. Though total program in familylife education is quite large, the number of programs in each separate part is far too small for such a wide subject. So, each part in the program should be made more sufficient. Finally, it suggested the development of an evaluation system and a coaching process as special services for families that are in different development stages and have different family experiences, resources, needs and goals.

This study was conducted to make a policy proposal for Korean grandparent-grandchildren families, analyzing what adversities adolescent grandchildren suffer when living in a grandparent-grandchild family, the types of Korean families and how family resilience appears as family power. In order to conduct this study, 20 consenting adolescents were selected for an interview from grandparent-grandchildren families recommended by the U City Healthy Family Support Center. This study suggests the following conclusions. First, we discussed divorce, death, financial bankruptcy related stress, economic difficulties in the present family, accidents involving family members of a grandparent-grandchild family, grandparents' serious disease, death, family conflicts and family comparisons with friends. Second, in the domain of family resilience, desire to maintain the family appeared as a Korean value. In addition, efforts to bond as an emotional family and grandchildren's attitudes of gratitude to grandparents are also expressed. However, family conversation appears weak due to the generation gap between adolescents and grandparents or complications from family stress. Third, the resilience in the family organization appeared weak since there are relatively insufficient socio-economic resources to support the family. This study makes several suggestions for family policies and shows the necessity to develop policies that reflect the needs of grandchildren and grandparents.

본 연구는 가족센터와 입양기관에서 입양 프로그램을 다룬 경험이 있는 종사자를 대상으로 프로그램 진행 경험을 살펴봄으로 가족센터의 입양가족 대상 서비스 제공의 필요성과 역할을 정립하는데 도움을 줄 수 있는 기초 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 연구를 위해 입양가족 대상 프로그램을 진행한 경험이 있으며 자발적으로 인터뷰에 응한 가족센터 3기관의 종사자 9명, 입양기관 2기관의 종사자 3명을 대상으로 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 연구의 주요결과로는 첫째, 가족센터가 처음 입양가족 프로그램을 진행하게 된 계기로는 다양한 가족을 발굴하면서와 주요 의사결정 대상자가 이 문제에 관심을 가지면서, 기존 프로그램에 입양가족이 참여하면서인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 입양가족 대상 프로그램은 기존의 프로그램, 즉 자조모임과 공동육아나눔터 등에 만족하면서 가족교육이나 가족상담을 요청하면서 확장되었다. 그러면서 현장의 실무가들은 입양가족에게 접근하는 방법을 알아가게 되고 좀 더 전문적인 서비스 제공을 위해 고심하는 과정을 거친다. 셋째, 실무가의 애로사항이기도 한 것으로, 정부 부처의 공식적 요청이나 지원, 한국건강가정진흥원에서의 매뉴얼이 없어 자신들의 방식으로 주변 입양기관과의 협력과 자원 발굴의 과정을 거치면서 입양프로그램을 진행해오고 있었다. 넷째, 실무가들이 평가하는 전달체계로서 가족센터의 장점은 전국적 인프라와 가족 전문가의 상주, 통합적 가족 프로그램 제공 등을 들고 있었다. 마지막으로, 극복해야 할 점으로는 입양가족 대상자의 특수성을 고려한 담당자의 대상자 이해교육과 입양기관과의 긴밀한 협력, 한국건강가정진흥원의 기본 메뉴얼 제공, 가족 대상자의 포괄성을 높이기 위한 정부의 재정 지원 확대를 꼽았다. 이에 대한 노력이 종합적으로 이루어진다면 입양가족의 건강성 증진에 크게 기여할 것이다.
