This study explores two key actors when it comes to preventative social work with adolescents, and in what way these actors can have an impact on the adolescent’s drug consumption. The study identifies and focus on the school and social services as two important performers and therefore also key actors. The aim of the study is to explore in what way these actors affect adolescents and how professionals who represent these key actors construct preventative social work with adolescents. This case study does not allow generalization, because of it´s small group of informants. The professionals in this study consists of individuals from the social services and from the school. Previous research focuses on in what areas professionals can affect adolescents, but the social worker´s perspective shines with its absence. All informants illuminate the relational work as a key of success, and how relations postulate their ability to carry out their work. It´s not until professionals have established relationships with their targeted groups, the public can see results of their work. Building relations takes time and continuity, things they don’t always have. To highlight the needs of the professionals is therefore an important issue.
