What qualities should social workers for the disabled have?

At present, the development of social work for the disabled in China is still relatively immature. Many social workers are crossing the river by feeling the stones and need constant precipitation and accumulation. Then, here are the qualities of disabled social workers I have compiled for you. Welcome to read and browse.

Pure ideological quality

The ideological quality mentioned here is to explore the ideological quality that social workers should have from the perspective of the professional values of social work for the disabled. As a social worker for the disabled, we should maintain pure ideological quality in order to truly enhance the strength and dignity of the disabled.

Specifically, the first is the people-oriented attitude and concept. In practical work, social workers should pay attention to the inner growth of clients, help clients perceive their attitudes towards individuals, life and surrounding environment, and affirm their own values, so as to better promote the growth of clients.

The second is to maintain a sense of empathy. Put yourself in the shoes of the disabled, understand their emotions and thoughts, and understand their positions and feelings, so that the disabled can feel that you are listening to their stories and feelings, thus narrowing the distance between social workers and the disabled.

The third is to accept the disabled unconditionally. Only by accepting our clients can they put aside their burdens and bad feelings and accept social workers. I have met some social workers at work. They are afraid to see the physically disabled and think they are miserable, so they put forward "I can't provide services for them"; Or think that mental patients are terrible and refuse to provide services on the grounds that they are afraid to contact. Similar examples happen from time to time. I expect disabled social workers to overcome their inner fears, otherwise you will not be accepted by the clients.

The fourth is labeling. "Disabled people are disabled", "Disabled people are the burden of society and family" and "Disabled people are a poor group". These labels are often imposed on disabled people and are difficult to eliminate. I once heard some new social workers say: I want to work for the disabled, because I think the disabled are a vulnerable group. That was really a "beautiful mistake from the beginning". Social workers should not only put an end to "labeling" the disabled themselves, but also tell everyone that please don't label the disabled, they are just "sick".

Strong psychological quality

Social work is a profession that emphasizes the sense of mission, and it requires social workers to always adhere to the concept of helping others and helping themselves. There is a voice that social work has become a "high pressure" profession, and the reason is closely related to the long-term experience and problems faced by social workers. In daily work, social workers deal with all kinds of "misfortunes" and need to feel the negative emotions of the clients, which can easily affect for many years and lead to job burnout. In the work of the disabled, social workers also receive negative information. Therefore, social workers with disabilities need to have good psychological quality and strong heart, otherwise it is difficult to cope with long-term high-pressure work.

As a professional social worker, we should learn some psychological knowledge, adjust our psychological state in time, and avoid the exhaustion of positive energy and occupation. For example, social workers should develop personal hobbies and find effective decompression methods that suit them; Or when negative emotions accumulate, you can seek the support of your peers, such as chatting with colleagues and learning from their effective experiences. When encountering difficult cases, actively seek the guidance and help of the supervisor to avoid falling into a lonely and helpless predicament.

Excellent professional quality

The professional quality determines the service ability and level of a social worker. I think the professional knowledge and ability of social workers with disabilities in the following aspects are essential:

First, the combination of "general practice" and "specialty". "General practice" and "specialty" are corresponding concepts. "General practice" refers to the general professional basic knowledge that a social worker should have, covering all aspects of social work as a profession and occupation, including three basic service methods of social work, social work values and moral standards. It is the basic knowledge that a qualified social worker must possess. Will not change because of serving a specific field. "Specialty" refers to the knowledge and skills needed in a specific field. For example, social workers for the disabled need to master specific knowledge and skills in the field of disabled people, including theoretical basis, intervention mode and practical skills of social work for the disabled. Only by combining "general practice" with "specialty" can we become an excellent social worker for the disabled.

The second is the combination of pathological and psychological knowledge. The particularity of services for the disabled lies in their physical disabilities and unique mental journey, which is precisely the shortcoming of many social workers. At present, there is no systematic course or training in social work education in colleges and universities, which greatly limits the development of social work services for the disabled.

My suggestion is: first of all, we should seriously study the physiological and pathological knowledge of the disabled. The basic knowledge of pathology for the disabled is the foundation before social workers provide services. For example, what types of disabled people are there? How do you score? What are the physiological characteristics of vision, hearing, speech, limbs, intelligence, mental disability and various disabilities? What's the difference between level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 4 disability? Different types and grades of disabled people need social workers to adopt different professional methods. If social workers do not master these basic knowledge, how can they provide appropriate services? He was invited to conduct practical training for disabled social workers in Guangzhou for many times. Through interactive communication, I found that some social workers lack knowledge and skills about disabled people. Therefore, I tend to learn the basic pathological knowledge of the disabled with them, such as guiding them to walk directionally, communicating with the deaf-mute disabled, and correctly handling the emotions and behaviors of the mentally recovered. Only when we fully understand our customers can we enter their world.

Secondly, understand and empathize with the psychological experience of the disabled. In the communication with some social workers, I found that many social workers are prone to make some small mistakes, especially when evaluating the needs of the clients, they often ignore the cognition and understanding of the psychological state of the disabled at that time. In fact, a disabled person usually goes through five stages of psychological process from the moment he realizes his disability. Social workers should fully evaluate the current psychological stage and state of the disabled and decide what strategies to adopt, otherwise it will be counterproductive. When the mental state of the client is still in the first stage, social workers will intervene too quickly, which will cause discomfort to the client. At this stage, the disabled need the company and support of social workers.

The third is the combination of policy and service. Due to the lack of social resources and the neglect of social people, the difficulties and needs of the disabled may not always attract the attention and response of the society. Therefore, social workers should strive for more policy support for the disabled.

First of all, we should actively carry out policy advocacy, that is, strive for reasonable care and benefits for some neglected disabled people, and pay more attention to the needs and actions of disabled people that are common in some aspects and cannot be answered in time. For example, since 20 14, a "comprehensive service center for community mental rehabilitation" has been set up in various districts of Guangzhou. It is precisely because of the appeal of senior social workers that the Disabled Persons' Federation system has paid attention to the community nursing needs of mental patients. In addition, social workers should strive for a better service environment for the disabled in institutions and communities and strive for reasonable resources from the government.

Second, community education. Community education includes direct explanation and experience to community residents, organization of community education and publicity activities, etc. , help community residents to establish a correct understanding of the disabled, and promote community mutual assistance and community harmony. Only by paying attention to community publicity and education can more community residents support and participate in the work of helping the disabled, thus providing convenience and support for the disabled in community nursing services and creating a friendly atmosphere for the disabled to smoothly integrate into the community.

The fourth is the combination of helping others and helping themselves. Improving the social function of the disabled needs to invest more social resources, but the reality is that the resources provided by social service institutions are far from enough compared with the needs of the disabled. At the same time, enhancing the ability of the disabled is the fundamental way to solve the problem. Therefore, social workers should actively build a resource network to help the disabled out of the predicament.

What are resources? From government policy support and welfare system to relatives, friends and neighbors of the disabled, they are all "resources" for the disabled. Such as departments in charge of the disabled, special schools, community neighborhood committees, community facilities, community hospitals, community groups, etc. Social workers should cultivate the awareness and ability of resource mining and integration and weave a social resource network for the disabled.

In addition, social workers should actively improve the "self-help" ability of the disabled. Nowadays, many social caring people and caring enterprises donate basic daily necessities, repair houses and donate directly to the disabled. Their actions deserve praise and encouragement. However, in some families I have followed for a long time, donations have only brought temporary improvement, and the families have not changed fundamentally. Therefore, it is very important to improve the ability of disabled people to solve problems independently. Social workers should stimulate the potential of disabled people from the perspective of advantages, help them better tap and use resources, promote their own growth and promote good family relations.

Strong physical quality

In recent years, there is a general view in the social work industry that an excellent social worker should have "three thick" and "thick mouth", that is, social workers need to exercise their eloquence before they can engage in social work propaganda, home visits and case studies. The second is "thick-skinned", that is, even if the social awareness of the social work industry is still relatively low, social workers need not be afraid of being rejected until the clients can accept social workers; The third is "thick soles", that is, social workers should go deep into the community and constantly visit and contact our clients.

Social workers are not only mental labor, but also manual labor. Social work for the disabled mostly adopts case management mode. In daily work, workers are not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and need long-term and effective visits and follow-up. Therefore, social workers with disabilities need excellent physical fitness to practice the "three rough" kung fu.

Extension: Report on the Work of Disabled Workers

I haven't been employed for a long time, just over two months. But before I took up my post, we went through a series of preparatory work such as training, written examination, interview and assessment for nearly half a year. After I took up my post, nangang district Service Center for the Disabled held a five-day business knowledge training for us in late 1 1, which greatly improved my working ability. 1 February1day, I submitted an application for joining the party to the community party branch, and now I am being tested by the party organization.

As for my working ability, I have an objective evaluation of myself. I have no sense of superiority and lack of experience, but I love my job and the cause of the disabled, and I sincerely hope to serve the disabled friends in the community. At work, I often ask the secretary and director, learn from the director who has worked for many years, learn from my peers, pay attention to summing up experiences and lessons, make myself more and more mature, and improve my working ability as soon as possible.

/kloc-at the end of 0/0, according to the instructions of the office, I conducted a household survey and registration of disabled people. During the investigation and visit, I have established a profound friendship with the disabled. I listened carefully to the opinions and suggestions of my disabled friends, and my disabled friends also regarded me as a person who can be trusted and relied on. I clearly remember walking into the home of a blind old man in Gui Li. He looked for his voice and turned his face to where I was standing. His face is filled with the joy of being cared for and comforted, and there is a faint expectation. At that moment, my heart was touched. How I hope that through our efforts, blind friends living in the dark can hang a bright lamp in their hearts to illuminate their colorless and bright lives. Because I am a disabled person, I deeply understand the pain and misfortune of being a disabled person. Every step of the blind's exploration, the loneliness of the deaf-mute in the silent world, the simple laughter of the mentally retarded in the face of ridicule, the hysterical madness of the mentally retarded, and the difficulties of the severely disabled. Who can be indifferent, who can turn a blind eye to all this? This is a group that needs more care and help. As a recent disabled worker,

On the premise of completing my job, I also actively participated in various temporary tasks assigned to me by the community, such as setting up a card for population and family planning families, registering affordable housing in the second half of the year, and the just-concluded nangang district People's Congress general election. I am glad that the secretary and director of the community trusted me and gave me the opportunity to exercise myself, which was also a promotion to my work.

Full-time members of the disabled are public welfare posts provided by the government, which reflects the government's concern and support for the disabled. I cherish my job opportunities and strive to make everything perfect, from the satisfaction of leaders to the satisfaction of disabled people. So far, I have successfully completed every task assigned to me by the office and the community, especially after the household survey of the disabled, I have filled in everyone's files and made a detailed classification and induction. Recently, there are 45 disabled people in the community, and one disabled person's disability certificate is being processed.

Although I have worked in the community for a short time, I like this group very much. Is an excellent group, won many honors, emerged many advanced individual representatives, and achieved remarkable results. In such an environment, I dare not relax, and I am not careful about all aspects of myself. I am willing to make progress with the community and become a qualified and excellent community worker.

Community is a grass-roots organization, which directly deals with the masses, residents and families, so our code of conduct is particularly important. Being an honest, self-disciplined and law-abiding community worker is the premise of doing community work well, and what kind of work attitude determines what kind of work results. I am well aware of the importance of this, so I have always been very strict with myself in this respect. Setting a good example for the disabled and establishing a good image in the community has always been my goal.

These are my summary statements one by one according to the inspection items in this office. If there are any achievements that belong to the past, please criticize and correct me. If there are any shortcomings, I will correct them as soon as possible. In the new year, I will redouble my efforts, pay attention to the cultivation of my personality charm, the shaping of moral standards, the accumulation of cultural heritage and the evaluation of comprehensive ability, strive to better serve the disabled, live up to the disabled friends, and do not discredit the outstanding collectives in the highway industry, while fulfilling the principle of "humanity, honesty and integrity"
