Sammanfattning: Abstract Author: Frida Landgren Title: New families in our community - A qualitative study of how professionals work to support parents with infants Supervisor: Maria Bangura Arvidsson Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The purpose of this study was to look at different kinds of activities aimed at families with infants, and to see how they work. I have examined whether the activities conveys a consensus or a multi-faceted picture of parenthood. I have also examined what the professionals think is important for parents in their family relationship. I have also examined how the professional works to inform and help the family. To investigate this I used following questions: How do the professionals define the concept of family? What do the professional think is important in a family relationship? How does the professionals work to support and help the parents? To study this I have searched different kinds of literature, studied various theories and interviewed professionals with expertise in the various activities. I have understood that today there is no clear-cut family, it can look very different. The work with the families in the various activities can also look very different, depending on the family they meet.
