Retos del Trabajo Social como agente de cambio: empoderamiento y trabajo social comunitario.

Abstract

Social workers’ profession has undergone a hard bureaucratization’s process and has adopted welfare and management trends that have caused a distance from the job’s nature, based on interaction and direct attention of population, groups and communities. The economic, political and social situation has exacerbated such modifications, as a consequence of the massive demands increase and the progressive reduction of resources and means to face them. Throughout the years, RETOS DEL TRABAJO SOCIAL COMO AGENTE DE CAMBIO: EMPODERAMIENTO Y TRABAJO SOCIAL COMUNITARIO. Laila M. Santos Martin. Grado de Trabajo Social. Pagina 7 different authors have pointed out the need of the social workers to get out from the offices and to get back in touch with the reality of the social problems in order to know them deeply and, this way, be able to bring up with new solutions. Due to the scarcity of material and economic resources assigned to the professionals for the social intervention, this is a great opportunity to promote a bigger development of personal skills and creative and professional reflection capacity. This would allow how to come up with new strategies and individual and collective solutions, as well as a new change in the used methodologies and the relations between professionaluser-context, which can produce a multiplier effect in the different levels of social organization.
