Research On Social Work Intervention In Social Support Network For Disabled Persons

Persons with disabilities are those who,in their physical,psychological or human structure,have lost or become abnormal in some form of tissue or function,or have lost all or part of their ability to engage in certain activities in a normal manner.The group of disabled people is part of the vulnerable group,and the number of such groups accounts for a large proportion of the total population of China.It is found that scholars pay more attention to the issues of social security,rehabilitation and employment of the disabled,and less research on the issues of social support for the disabled.The use of case work method to provide professional services for disabled people is not only conducive to the improvement of their own abilities,but also can further promote the specialization of case work practice methods,and at the same time has a certain theoretical and practical significance for the development of social work for disabled people in China.Based on the theory of social support,this study uses a case study method to select a person with a physical disability in a community in an economically underdeveloped region of China.Through the case intervention to help the case owner alleviate anxiety,enhance self-confidence,repair the damaged personal relationship network,while improving the volunteer network,expand the community support network.This study concludes that social work plays an important role in the construction of social support networks for persons with disabilities.The reasons for the imperfect social support network for disabled people are mainly affected by the weak support of disabled people themselves,the lack of community resources,and the imperfect development of social organizations.By making suggestions at the macro,Meso and micro levels to help improve the capabilities of persons with disabilities,link community resources,and develop social organizations,social workers ’own energy is brought into play.
