The aim of this article is to show the possibility of using the assumptions of the concept of positive prevention and the model of multidimensional positive prevention in the care and educational work an orphanage constructed on its basis. The article draws attention to the impact of the quality of care and educational work for the successful process of becoming independent of children outside the facility Taking into account the specific nature of risk factors occurring in the lives of children in care, the article proposes to modify the traditional understanding of the preventive function of a children's home. The proposed modification consists in organizing care and educational work focusing not only on reducing risk factors, but also on seeking, supporting and, above all, developing protective factors in the life of every child in care, with particular attention to the process of shaping life skills. Moreover, the article describes theoretical and empirical assumptions of the multidimensional positive prevention model. This model, based on the logotheoretical concept of existence, additionally opens up new perspectives for care and educational work, drawing particular attention to the multidimensionality of existence and the significance of sense-making values in encouraging an individual to be active. In pedagogical practice, it comes down to creating prevention programmes which are based on supporting and developing protective factors in relation to all dimensions of the existence (biological, social, subjective and noetic) of children in care, an example of which is the presented preventive programme: "Support for multidimensional development of youth".
