Construction of a service mode of school social work in post-disaster areas in China: A case study on the project of disaster relief schools after the Sichuan earthquake
In China, school social work services after disasters are at the exploratory stage. After the Sichuan earthquake in 2008, the recognition of social work intervention to reconstruct post-disaster areas has emerged. This article illustrates the process of school social work service in the disaster relief schools of Sichuan by viewing the project undertaken by the China Youth Development Foundation, which is associated with the China Association of Social Work Education. It likewise explores the service modes for the local development of school social work, which marks a new stage in the development of social work in China.
