Summary/Abstract: The insights about the families of children with socio-behavioral disorders come, as a rule, from experts and they are tinted with their perspective, theories and knowledge. On the other hand, this paper deals with the relation of the importance of user participation in the needs assessment process and the planning of further resocializing interventions of young people with the imposed corrective measure of enhanced supervision by a guardianship authority in social work centers, which is in the socio-pedagogical domain. The survey covered 20 respondents, young people with imposed corrective measures, who showed different forms of predominantly active socio-behavioral disorders within a period of six months. This research is based within the area of qualitative and quantitative methodology, as is the analysis of its data. In a semi-structured interview, young people spoke about different areas and topics from their lives, including the experiences and attitudes about their own families. Within the Repertory grid, one of the instruments used in the theory of personal constructs, descriptive statistics and quantitative data analysis approach were applied. While talking about their families, the respondents, despite their not so functional relationships at home, make their families more idealistic and have the need to normalize their family relationships. The respondents highly appreciate their families and perceive them as an important support. The outcomes of the survey are both a valuable contribution to the explanation of the causes and reasons for the occurrence of these behavioral forms, and also an important basis for cooperation in the development of social support networks.
