É analisada a implementação da Lei Grega 4538/2018 relativa à instituição social de acolhimento de crianças. Baseia-se numa tese de doutoramento que visa identificar as melhores práticas na promoção da desinstitucionalização de menores para melhorar a sua saúde mental. Foi utilizada uma abordagem de método misto, começando com um inquérito quantitativo que foi enviado a todos os diretores de lares infantis em toda a Grécia. Quatro lares infantis foram considerados agências de proteção infantil exemplares em termos de acolhimento. A segunda fase da investigação quantitativa foi realizada sobre os seus casos de acolhimento em curso. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com nove assistentes sociais que tinham assumido estes dezasseis casos de acolhimento de crianças. A investigação revelou que a acolhimento familiar de longo prazo para crianças entre os quatro e os seis anos (4-6) é comum e, muitas vezes, o acolhimento familiar leva à adoção, sendo raro o contacto com a família biológica. No geral, a investigação defende a necessidade urgente de criar um protocolo unificado de acolhimento familiar em toda a Grécia para garantir a consistência e a eficácia dos serviços de proteção infantil.
