New solutions in the foster care system were introduced in the form of assistance families in order to support and temporarily replace foster carers. Information on the assistance family was collected by means of internet research, mainly through thematic forums, chat rooms and social networking sites. However, it was extended during surveys in selected districts of the Lubelskie and Świętokrzyskie Voivodships. The respondents’ opinions on the support families were not unequivocal, there were supporters and opponents of this idea, both among employees of social welfare institutions and interested substitute caregivers.  VL - 2019 IS - Tom 24, numer 1 PY - 2019 SN - 1507-4285 C1 - 2449-6138 SP - 13 EP - 22 DO - 10.4467/24496138ZPS.19.002.10750 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/zeszyty-pracy-socjalnej/artykul/rodziny-pomocowe-martwy-zapis-w-ustawie-czy-realna-pomoc-pieczy-rodzinnej KW - help family KW - foster care KW - help KW - support
