Social work in the community in the conditions of war

During the war, professional social work expands the directions, methods and forms
of work, which, on the one hand, are based on many years of experience, including
international one, and on the other hand – the phenomenon of Ukrainian social work
is formed on the basis of moral duty, mutual support, devotion of every citizen in
combination with the professional activities of social workers.
It has been established that the main method of social work is the community work.
An important feature of social work in the community is the spontaneous combination
of charity of ordinary citizens as a moral duty and the desire to do good to the others
with the professional activities of social workers. From the point of view of phenomenological
approach this experience is formed on the basis of Ukrainian traditions,
gained in times of crisis through critical thinking, emergency decisions, based on
human-centeredness, enthusiasm, charity, indifference and patriotism.
It has been determined that social work in the community during the war is carried
out at four levels: social work at the level of local governments, social work at the
level of the territorial community, social work at the level of social institutions and
social work at the level of community residents.
Public volunteer organizations are the partners of territorial communities. According
to the Law of Ukraine “On Social Services”, the non-governmental sector is among the
providers of social services. And in such a difficult time for the country, volunteers are
a separate regiment of charity: they collect and provide clothing, medicines, food for
vulnerable groups of population; organize and settle refugees; provide assistance to the
soldiers and their families; help the affected persons; provide the front with everything
necessary: deliver the masking nets, food, military clothing, medicines, equipment, etc.
The Ukrainian experience of social work shows that the citizens, who self-organize
in communities and keep morale high by their faith and justice, constitute a separate
subject of assistance in wartime.
