The presence of a child with disabilities is a powerful stressor for his parents, leading to a serious adjustment disorder. Based on a theoretical analysis of the main approaches to the phenomenon of psychological personality resilience, the resilience of parents raising children with disabilities is considered as a subject resource that provides positive adaptation and full-fledged life activity in spite of adverse living conditions. Resilience is characterized by a combination of social and intrapsychic processes that allow a person to be healthy and live a full life in an unfavorable environment. The ability of parents raising children with disabilities to cope with an adverse life situation is influenced by many factors: state policy in relation to this category of people, the media, public moods, school, social institutions, and interactions with people, family dynamics and resilience resources, stress factors, socio-economic characteristics of the family. The main characteristics of the resilience of parents raising children with disabilities are: the possibility of self-expression, general involvement, openness, awareness, a harmonious relationship between caring for the child and the need for attention of other family members. Despite difficult life circumstances, parents raising children with disabilities can find resources to adapt positively to the stress they experience. There are recommendations for certain actions, psychological intervention programs for the development of resilience in such families. In psychological practice, in a situation where a family has a child with disabilities, all attention and care is given to him.

Introduction. At present, the priority of social policy in Ukraine is to ensure a fair standard of living for all categories of the population who find themselves in difficult life circumstances, including families raising children with disabilities. Over the past 5 years, the number of Ukrainian families raising children with disabilities has increased by 20% according to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. This is due to various environmental, social, economic, and other factors that harm the general health of the population. In the research circle, scholars consider the family as a center for the upbringing and development of a child with a disability, because for this child, the family is primarily the main environment for rehabilitation. However, the family cannot be considered solely from the point of view of rehabilitation, because the family is a social group that carries out its activities based on a common economic, domestic, moral, and psychological way of life. Families with children with disabilities face many difficulties and problems, from medical to social, but the most pressing and common problems of such families are financial. Given the economic situation in Ukraine and the economic opportunities of Ukrainian families, it is safe to say that the social security system in Ukraine is not able to fully help families raising children with disabilities financially, as benefits are insignificant and the variability of such benefits is negligible. This actualizes the study of social protection of families with children with disabilities, in particular the study of international innovative methods of social welfare provision to this category of the population. The aim of the article is a theoretical analysis of global innovation mechanisms and approaches to social welfare provision to families raising children with disabilities for their further implementation in Ukraine. Methodology. The theoretical foundation of this article is based on world socio-economic theories, scientific approaches to solving problems of social welfare, and the social work theories. General scientific research methods were used, in particular, structural-functional to reveal the types of social assistance and existing technologies and methods of calculating social benefits for families raising children with disabilities in Ukraine; comparison – to study the world's innovative social welfare technologies. Results. It has been confirmed that the social welfare provision to families raising children with disabilities is one of the priority tasks of social policy both in Ukraine and in the world. An analysis of international innovative mechanisms and approaches of social welfare provision to families, who raise children with disabilities has been carried out. Improvement of the Ukrainian social welfare system has been suggested by introducing world tendencies of social protection of families raising children with disabilities.

Chapter 4 discusses the process of intergenerational memory transmission. It analyzes how young people in the 2000s and early 2010s took up knowledge and developed understandings of the events in 1989 through a web of institutions including the family, the school, and the media. Nevertheless, the limitation of intergenerational transmission in the period is also illustrated through comparing different generations’ attitudes and affects toward June 4. Moreover, in-depth interviews shed light on the challenge of intergenerational memory transmission within specific social institutions and professions.

The article considers the main aspects of the influence of family relations on the development of personality, in particular, the younger student. Raising children is the most important area of our lives. Our children are future citizens of our country and citizens of the world. They will make history. Our children are future parents, they will also be the educators of their children. They must grow up to be wonderful citizens, good fathers and mothers. But that's not all: our children are our old age. Proper upbringing is our happy old age, bad upbringing is our future grief, it is our tears, it is our guilt before other people, before society. There are dozens, hundreds of professions, specialties, jobs: one builds a railway, another builds a house, a third grows bread, a fourth treats people, a fifth sews clothes. But there is the most universal, most complex and noble work, unique for all and at the same time original and unique in each family - it is a work of man. A distinctive feature of this work is that a person finds in it incomparable happiness. Continuing the human race, the father and mother repeat themselves in the child, and the moral responsibility for the person, for his future, depends on how conscious this repetition is. Every moment of that work, which is called education, is a work of the future and a look into the future. Raising children is a return of special forces, spiritual forces. We create a person with love - the love of father to mother and mother to father, love of father and mother to people, deep faith in the dignity and beauty of man. Beautiful children grow up in families where mother and father love each other and at the same time love and respect people. A person acquires value for society only when he becomes a person, and its formation requires purposeful, systematic influence. It is the family with its constant and natural nature of influence is designed to form character traits, beliefs, attitudes, worldview of the child. Therefore, the allocation of the educational function of the family as the main has a social meaning. For each person, the family performs emotional and recreational functions that protect a person from stressful and extreme situations. The comfort and warmth of a home, the realization of a person's need for trusting and emotional communication, compassion, empathy, support - all this allows a person to be more resistant to the conditions of modern restless life. Despite the large number of studies on the problem of raising children and youth, the socio-pedagogical conditions and factors of the educational process in the family, school and other social institutions are not analyzed in depth. Namely, they determine the strategy of education, which is outlined today in certain trends in the education of the individual in the modern conditions of Ukrainian reality.

Families raising children with disabilities face many everyday problems. They are or accepted, or sometimes rejected by the society or the society is indifferent to them. The presented research attempts to identify how families raising children with various disabilities cope in everyday life and how they perceive their problems and how their children are treated by other people. Research results indicate that apart from psychological and emotional support for the surveyed families, material support is important because maintaining the family at additional costs related to rehabilitation, specialist medical care, buying medicines and appropriate medical equipment hinders their daily existence.

Adjustment, social and emotional support, resiliency and adaptability, and flexibility are examined by the author as specific factors contributing to successful coping of parents, siblings, and grandparents in raising children with disabilities. A critical literature review by the author discusses the current state of knowledge in this area and explores themes of research in each of the categories described. The author discusses conflicting interpretations of prominent caregiver coping research by Mattingly and Ingstad, and concludes with a discussion of global perspectives on this issue and recommendations of further research to contribute to understandings of coping in family systems raising children with disabilities.

Violence against women (VAW) continues to exist as a pervasive, structural,systematic, and institutionalized violation of women’s basic human rights (UNDivision of Advancement for Women, 2006). It cuts across the boundaries of age, race, class, education, and religion which affect women of all ages and all backgrounds in every corner of the world. Such violence is used to control and subjugate women by instilling a sense of insecurity that keeps them “bound to the home, economically exploited and socially suppressed” (Mathu, 2008, p. 65). It is estimated that one out of every five women worldwide will be abused during her lifetime with rates reaching up to 70 percent in some countries (WHO, 2005). Whether this abuse is perpetrated by the state and its agents, by family members, or even by strangers, VAW is closely related to the regulation of sexuality in a gender specific (patriarchal) manner. This regulation is, on the one hand, maintained through the implementation of strict cultural, communal, and religious norms, and on the other hand, through particular legal measures that sustain these norms. Therefore, religious institutions, the media, the family/tribe, cultural networks, and the legal system continually disciplinewomen’s sexuality and punish those women (and in some instances men) who have transgressed or allegedly contravened the social boundaries of ‘appropriateness’ as delineated by each society. Such women/men may include lesbians/gays, women who appear ‘too masculine’ or men who appear ‘too feminine,’ women who try to exercise their rights freely or men who do not assert their rights as ‘real men’ should, women/men who have been sexually assaulted or raped, and women/men who challenge male/older male authority.
