Flash-flooding affected Iran in March 2019 causing the displacement of thousands of people. Social workers established a Child Friendly Space (CFS) and applied comprehensive case management to provide psychosocial support for people who were affected by flooding (PWAF) (n = 565) in a community in Poldokhtar, covering a period of 3 months. Outreach services, involving community-volunteers, providing counseling, establishing CFS, training PWAF for reducing violence, and preventing child abuse were essential social work post-disaster interventions to support vulnerable populations. The article reflects upon the often-neglected role of social workers in post-disaster settings, and brings new material for discussion from the unexplored field of Iranian social workers.
2019年3月,伊朗遭遇暴雨洪水,导致数千人被迫撤离。社会工作者设立了一个儿童友好空间(CFS),并采用综合个案管理,为波尔德赫塔尔一个社区中受洪水影响的人群(PWAF,n = 565)提供心理社会支持,为期3个月。外展服务,包括社区志愿者提供咨询、设立儿童友好空间、培训受洪水影响人群以减少暴力行为和预防虐待儿童,是灾后支持弱势群体的重要社会工作干预措施。本文反思了社会工作者在灾后环境中常被忽视的作用,并提供了来自伊朗社会工作者未被探索领域的新讨论素材。
