TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE FAMILY XIV. 

Interprofessional Cooperation in Working with Children and Youth


November 13, 2025

9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Bezručovo nám. 885/14, Opava


Working with children and youth goes beyond the boundaries of a single profession – it requires cooperation, a variety of approaches, and diverse professional competencies. Interprofessional collaboration allows for a better understanding of the complex needs of both the child and their family, enabling more sensitive and effective responses.

When professionals from education, social services, healthcare, or justice truly work together, they can prevent risks, strengthen protective factors, and provide support that truly makes a difference. Shared responsibility and open communication across professions increase the chances of offering timely and meaningful help where it is most needed.

This conference offers a space to share inspiring experiences from practice, present research findings, and engage in open dialogue about what interprofessional cooperation really means today. Together, we aim to explore new ways to improve mutual communication, support children and families, and meaningfully connect different perspectives and professional approaches.
