A Model of Multidimensional Positive Prevention as an Example of Measures to Support the Spiritual Development of Children and Adolescents

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to present a model of multidimensional positive prevention as an example of measures that can support the spiritual development of children and adolescents. RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research problem focuses on finding an answer to the question whether and how the model of multidimensional positive prevention can support the spiritual development of children and adolescents, and what practical implications can be drawn from the theoretical and empirical assumptions of the model. The author uses the analytical‑synthetic method, based on the selected literature on the subject. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: On the basis of the literature on the subject, the author analyzes the noetic and spiritual dimension of existence showing its significance for constructing effective preventive activity. Theoretical and empirical assumptions of the model of multidimensional positive prevention are also presented. RESEARCH RESULTS: The conducted analyzes indicates that the model of multidimensional positive prevention assumes designing the preventive activities supporting the development of pro‑tective factors in all dimensions of existence. At the same time, it focuses on its noetic and spiritual dimension, namely the meaning of life and the system of values what is particularly important in the case of children and adolescents from dysfunctional and pathological families. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The model of multidimensional positive prevention is a comprehensive construct that comprises theoretical and empirical assumptions, on the basis of which prevention programmes can be designed to support the spiritual development of children and adolescents. The designation of the model in pedagogical practice is the prevention programme “Support for the Multidimensional Development of Youth,” which is a ready‑made and comprehensive tool for work with children and adolescents. The empirical assumptions of the model enable to design programmes in the area of universal and selective prevention. The students of educational institutions, special education centres and juvenile care facilities can be the potential recipients of these programmes.
