Early intervention and early support are actions aimed at a child with disturbed development and their families. The emergence of any developmental disorders in a child is always a stressful situation and demanding changes and taking action to support parents. The resource enabling one to get additional help is the social network of the family. The quality of services depends on the size and category of persons that compose it. It should be borne in mind that focusing solely on the rehabilitation of the child – taking for granted the needs of the remaining family members – may lead over time to the dysfunction of the whole family. Restrictions that appear and result from the child’s disability, create a real threat of marginalising or even exclusion of the family from social life. It is unable to overcome the crisis without any help, therefore the actions of family support networks also play an important role. The main objective of this article centred around the information on the relationship between the size of a support network, the kind of the disorder in children and strategies for coping with stress in parents of children participating in the process of early support or early intervention. The study covered 93 parents. The Map and Questionnaire of Social Support of Zdzisław Bizoń and Inventory to Measure Coping Strategies with Stress – Brief COPE were applied. Analysis of the results showed no significant correlation between the two variables. The applied statistical analysis allowed us to identify the most commonly used strategies to cope with stress by parents and enabled us to characterise the size of the network and the categories of people who create it. The article ends with conclusions concerning the areas of practical actions under early intervention.

Wczesna interwencja i wczesne wspomaganie to działania, których podmiotem są dziecko o zaburzonym rozwoju i jego rodzina. Pojawienie się jakichkolwiek nieprawidłowości rozwojowych u dziecka jest zawsze sytuacją stresującą oraz wymagającą podjęcia działań wspierających rodziców. Zasobem umożliwiającym uzyskanie dodatkowej pomocy jest sieć społeczna rodziny. Jakość udzielonych świadczeń zależy od wielkości tej sieci i kategorii osób, które ją tworzą. Należy pamiętać, że koncentracja tylko na rehabilitacji dziecka – z pominięciem potrzeb pozostałych członków rodziny – może z czasem doprowadzić do dysfunkcji całego systemu rodzinnego. Pojawiające się ograniczenia, które wynikają z niepełnosprawności dziecka, stanowią realne zagrożenie marginalizacją lub nawet wykluczeniem rodziny z życia społecznego. Nie jest ona w stanie wyjść z kryzysu samodzielnie, dlatego też istotną rolę odgrywają działania realizowane przez sieci wsparcia rodziny. Głównym celem niniejszej pracy było sprawdzenie siły zależności między wielkością sieci wsparcia, rodzajem zaburzenia u dziecka a strategiami radzenia sobie ze stresem stosowanymi przez rodziców dzieci uczestniczących w procesie wczesnego wspomagania lub wczesnej interwencji. Badaniami objęto 93 rodziców. Zastosowano Mapę i Kwestionariusz Otoczenia Społecznego Zdzisława Bizonia oraz Inwentarz do Pomiaru Radzenia Sobie ze Stresem – Mini-COPE. Analiza uzyskanych wyników nie wykazała istotnych korelacji między badanymi zmiennymi.

Fans are of central importance to sport service production. Their passion, excitement, and involvement plays a crucial role in event implementation and value creation. Due to the importance of fans as "co-producers" of the sport service, the hypothesis of this research is that a fan community is a salient stakeholder in the value co-creation process. This paper focuses on how a football fan community engages in manifold interaction with its team, the local context, and the network of actors as a whole. Within the theoretical framework of the stakeholders and the network approach, a multi-case analysis and thorough examination of the ACF Fiorentina's season ticket holders database enlightens a system of relationships where fans are able to influence the internal dynamics of the social network that has developed around the football club. In light of the empirical evidence presented by the case studies and the database on supporters, we propose a first typology of fans' roles and strategic behaviours. Findings, though not exhaustive, illustrate not only the roles assumed by fans during matches in terms of identification and participation, but also underline the variety of ways in which fans behave as stakeholders of their own team. In terms of value cocreation, this research highlights the fan community as a salient stakeholder and not just a mere spectator. Fans and supporters not only are crucial actors in implementing the sport service, but they even play an important role of influencing the choices and behaviours of the football club and other stakeholders.
