Tarpukario Lietuva religiniu ideologiniu požiūriu traktuojama nevienareikšmiškai. Bažnyčios bei Valstybės santykiai labai gerai atsispindi vertinant Bažnyčios veikimo galimybes mokykloje. Bažnyčios veikimas tarpukario nepriklausomos Lietuvos bendrojo lavinimo mokyklose laikytas aktualiu ir svarbiu, tikybos dėstymas buvo įtvirtintas Konstitucijoje, švietimo institucijose veikė Katalikiškoji Akcija. Tikybos mokymas ir dorinis ugdymas grįstas Šventuoju Raštu, Katekizmu ir Bažnyčios istorija. Profesionaliai parengta šios disciplinos programa ir mokymo metodika siekta ugdyti bendražmogiškąsias savybes, solidarumą, patriotizmą, formuoti sąžinę. Tikybą galėjo dėstyti tik pagal Konkordato reikalavimus paskirti asmenys. Interwar Lithuania is viewed in religious ideological terms as ambiguous. The relationship between the Church and the State is very well reflected in the assessment of the Church's potential for school activities. The fact that teaching religion is enshrined in the Constitution and in the Catholic Campaign's educational institutions demonstrates that the Church's ability to participate in regular schools in interwar independent Lithuania was relevant and important. Religious teaching and moral education were based on Scripture, Catechism, and Church History. The professionally developed curriculum and teaching methodology of this discipline aimed to fulfil its goals: the development of common human qualities, conscience-building, solidarity, and patriotism. Religion could only be taught by persons who were appointed in accordance with the requirements of the Concordat.

Social work has its roots in life itself. The profession of social worker is a creative combination of knowledge, values and skills. In recent years, social work with families facing social risk has received more and more attention in the country, and it can be said that social work with these families has become one of the priority areas. The article discusses the difficulties experienced by case managers when working with families facing social risk. The analysis of the problems faced by the case managers will help to improve the quality of social work, and, accordingly, to develop and expand social services for families facing social risk. Four case managers participated in the study. The results of the study revealed that a common phenomenon in families facing social risk by not having a job and not looking for one is low self-esteem. Many families facing social risk live in poverty, and this determines their further life, development and improvement. The study revealed that case managers working with families facing social risk had the following difficulties: alcoholism, a lack of social skills, violence against children, neglect of children, and lack of motivation. A close, trusting relationship between case managers and families improves the quality of the services provided, and helps to address the problems faced by the family more effectively. Case managers empower the family to be proactive in dealing with difficulties. Cooperation enables families to meet their needs for security, self-esteem and social support.
