Abstract [en]

The mental health of children and adolescents’ is a debated topic and constitutes a large part of social work in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to investigate how social workers perceive the importance of children and adolescents’ social networks in relation to their mental health and what role social work has in this. The qualitative method used was semi-structured interviews, that was processed through a thematic analysis. The results of this inductive study show that various aspects of the social network are important for the mental wellbeing of children and adolescents’ and that there are differences in how the social workers perceive their role in the child's social network. There are differences in what previous research believes is important for the child and how the social workers' working methods are designed. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the importance of children and adolescents’ social networks. 

Abstract [sv]

Barn och ungas psykiska hälsa är ett omdiskuterat ämne och utgör en stor del av det sociala arbetet i Sverige. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur socialsekreterare uppfattar betydelsen av barn och ungas sociala nätverk i relation till deras psykiska hälsa samt vilken roll det sociala arbetet har i detta. Den kvalitativa metoden som har använts var semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuernas innehåll bearbetades sedan genom en tematisk analys. Studien genomfördes med en induktiv ansats. Resultatet visar att det finns olika aspekter av det sociala nätverket som har betydelse för barn och ungas psykiska mående samt att det finns skillnader i hur socialsekreterarna uppfattar sin roll i barnets sociala nätverk. Studien visar att det finns skillnader i vad tidigare forskning menar är viktigt för barnet och hur socialsekreterarnas arbetssätt är utformade. Denna studie bidrar med en fördjupad förståelse för betydelsen av barn och ungas sociala nätverk.
