疫情危机中的社会韧性建构与社会工作定位

Social Resilience Construction in the Epidemic Crisis and Social Work Positioning

突发公共卫生事件是对社会治理的重大考验,也促使社会工作界更深入思考自身的专业角色与未来发展。基于社会韧性的相关视角并结合此次疫情危机,本研究指出,社会工作能够通过推动应急管理的跨专业协作、促进脆弱人群的需求回应以及提升社会信任关系而在社会韧性建构中发挥其专业优势。同时,面对日益增长的社会风险与不确定性,社会工作还需要在功能、制度和实践三个层面更加明晰自身的专业空间与发展定位,这包括强化社会工作应对社会风险的整体性视角、在风险治理体系中纳入制度化的专业角色以及提升风险情境下的专业知识与实践能力等。

The public health emergency is a major test of social governance,and it has also propelled the social work community to think more deeply about its own professional role and future development.Based on the perspective of social resilience and combining with the COVID-19 pandemic crisis,this research argues that social work has its professional advantage in stimulating and fostering social resilience through promoting interdisciplinary collaboration in emergency management,responding to the needs of vulnerable groups,and enhancing social trust relationships.In the face of increasing social risks and uncertainties,social work community needs to be clearer about its professional sphere and development orientation at three levels including function,system and practice.This includes highlighting the holistic approach of coping with and managing social risks,incorporating social work into the institutionalized risk governance system,as well as promoting professional knowledge and practical skills in the context of risk society.
