Parenting support for divorced fathers

Kroz povijest se smatralo da idealnu vrstu obitelji čine otac, koji uzdržava obitelj financijski, majka koja brine isključivo za kućanstvo i odgoj djece te samo dijete ili djeca. Zbog društvenog napretka, ovakav tip obitelji se mijenja te se javljaju različite vrste obitelji, uključujući i one koje nastaju nakon razvoda braka. Istraživanja pokazuju da se roditelji, posebno očevi, često nakon razvoda osjećaju izoliranima, bez dostatne podrške. Oni imaju pravo na podršku u vidu pouzdanih informacija, savjetovanja, ali i na materijalnu pomoć. Za potrebe ovog diplomskog rada provedeni su intervjui s razvedenim očevima koji su pohađali program podrške roditeljstvu nakon razvoda „Rastimo zajedno i dalje“, kako bi saznali doživljaje roditelja o formalnoj i neformalnoj podršci koju dobivaju u roditeljskoj ulozi. Rezultati intervjua pokazuju s kakvim oblicima podrške se razvedeni očevi susreću, što očekuju od formalne podrške i kako doživljavaju novi program podrške roditeljstvu koji se razvija za razvedene očeve djece rane i predškolske dobi u nekoliko obiteljskih centara širom Hrvatske.Trough history it has been considered that the ideal type of family consist of a father, who supports family financially, mother whose only role is household and childbearing, and of course a child or children.
