Abstract: At present, the interaction of multiple welfare subjects of children in distress presents the characteristics of non-institutionalized multiple cooperation: lack of sophisticated planning for certain individual projects from the government, insufficient macro guidance and depth of family needs assessment, and the inadequate communication and coordination among relevant parties. Most services provided by the government purchase are supportive ones that offer insufficient developmental and preventive services for families. Under the restricted service role preferences and concepts like “advocacy is confrontation”, the advocacy function is limited. In the cooperative delivery between the community and the family, the over-administration of the community restricts the direct service to the family. In view of the limited supply of welfare resources, more service supply should be released through advocacy and other forms. The diversification and connection of welfare supply present the bottleneck that the supply side needs to break through. In view of the tension amid the demand assessment, the identity identification and the service supply, it is necessary to promote a systematic connection scheme and a “performance-based cooperation model” among multiple welfare subjects.

Key words: welfare management, children in distress, collaboration, performance-based cooperation
