What is a social work organization?

Today, I want to tell you something about social workers that you don't know. ...

Early germination stage

Before 2006, social work in our province has not been included in the scope of work of party committees and governments at all levels.

With the increasing exchanges in the field of social services between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, some social service organizations in Guangzhou began to explore social work practice in the 1990s. For example, Fengyuan Street in Liwan District of Guangzhou cooperates with Neighborhood Counseling Association to provide social work services to meet the needs of residents for community services. Guangzhou nursing home cooperates with Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui to introduce professional social workers to provide social work services for the elderly at home; Some public service social organizations, such as Guangzhou YMCA, also try to introduce social workers and accumulate practical experience.

On the other hand, social work education began. Since 1999, South China Agricultural University, Guangdong Business School, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou University, Guangdong University of Technology and other universities have successively set up social work majors.

The practice of social work service explored by social forces and the development of social work professional education have laid a certain foundation for the start of social work in our province.

06- 10 year (pilot exploration stage)

In 2006, after the Ministry of Civil Affairs held a national meeting to promote the construction of social work talents in our province's civil affairs system, our province quickly launched a pilot exploration, gradually built a social work demonstration zone in the province, strengthened decision-making and coordination on major social work issues, and the pilot work was steadily advanced. All-round promotion stage (20 1 1 till now)

20 1 1 The 9th Session of the 10th Guangdong Provincial Committee focused on strengthening social construction. The General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued the "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Social Work Talents Team", which included the number of certified social workers per 10,000 people in the evaluation index system of "Happy Guangdong", and social work in our province entered a stage of comprehensive promotion.

The practice of social work has gradually deepened, and the service areas have gradually expanded from social welfare and social assistance to rehabilitation of the disabled, anti-drug education aid, community correction, employment assistance, employee assistance, dispute mediation, emergency response and other fields. The service area has expanded from urban to rural areas, and the service targets have expanded from children, adolescents, the elderly and the disabled to floating population, affected people and women with special needs.

Social work professionals and social work service institutions are the main bodies that directly provide social work services. All parts of our province regard cultivating and strengthening social work talents and social work service institutions as the core of developing social work, and promote social work talents to take root in front-line services and social work service institutions to establish brands based on the long term.

Judging from the government's emphasis on social work, Bian Xiao believes that social workers will gradually appear as a profession, not only to distinguish themselves from the enthusiastic aunts of neighborhood committees, but to distinguish a model of helping others and solve existing problems in depth!

There may be more people in need of social workers in the future. If you have a social worker's card at this time, so much the better.
