Anotace: OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study is to propose a practical model of supporting family

capacity by social services during the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19. THEORETICAL BASE: The conceptual framework of the study includes the household capacity assessment
and monitoring social work activity in the context of changes brought by the COVID-19
crisis. METHODS: The model describes the course of action taken by the social worker when
interacting with the family and provides the tools used by the social protection services to help
the family. The result is differentiation of social support forms according to the SWOT-analysis
matrix. OUTCOMES: The matrix includes the system of critical indicators for evaluating the
family capacity divided into four groups: strengths and opportunities and barriers and challenges.
This model will allow one to identify and monitor family social and economic problems with
subsequent improvement of family capacity in social and family entrepreneurship given that the
family has a business. It will also help to evaluate the effectiveness of social services provided by the
social protection system. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The results can be used for the
development of social protection programs focusing on the introduction of permanent interaction
mechanisms between social services and families, not only in crisis situations.
