Family is surely one of the closest systems and primary socialisation sources who influence a child, i.e. the individual. The Primary Socialisation Theory and the Theory of Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model confirm just that. As one of the primary caretakers, family belongs to the group of protective factors which protect the individual from deviant behaviours. The family does not affect the individual by itself, but it is a part of different interrelated systems and strong bonds between primary and secondary socialisation sources. The individual gradually develops physically, psychologically and spiritually. Spiritual development of the individual is viewed through the eyes of spirituality, religion and religiousness. Salesian spirituality developed within preventive system which was written, conducted and lived by the greatest pedagogue and caretaker of the Catholic Church, Ivan Bosco, since 1877. His caretaking methods as a specific Salesian form of spirituality lives on today within numerous Salesian caretaking community around the world. One such caretaking house, Salesian Oratories Don Bosco, has operated for 50 years already in Kman, where through active participation of numerous volunteers, entertainers, partners and Salesians, it leaves its traces on the lives of many young people and children. This Master's thesis consists of two parts. The first part of the paper provides a theoretical background which is covered with multiple works in Croatian and English. The second part of the paper demonstrates results and conclusions of the empirical research of preventive potentials between the bond between the individual and Salesian caretaking community, specifically it shows how much the response, activities and living by caretaking ideas and Salesian spirituality have an impact as protective factors on the individual and their family. The aforementioned research was conducted in the abovementioned Salesian Oratory Don Bosco in Kman, Split.
