Practice and Reflection on Social Organizations'Helping and Empowering Children in Difficulty——Taking"Facilitators"as an Example
Supporting social organizations to participate in children's services is in response to the requirement of guiding social organizations to actively participate in charitable causes that has been put forward at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.Taking"Facilitators",the earliest private social work service organization in China,as a sample,this report has systematically combed through its innovative child-centered service model in collaboration with supports and empowerment for children in difficulty,and holds that social organizations have multiple functions and values in helping children in difficulty,including playing the role of research and advocacy,identifying and conveying the needs and opinions of children in difficulty;offering social assistance to help children and families in trouble;enabling communities to help children in difficulty and their families to integrate into the community;empowering children in difficulty and their families to participate in;providing professional support to cultivate the service force for children in difficulty;and pooling resources to build a multi-party service system.In conclusion,this report calls for building a supportive environment from the perspectives of value guarantee,theoretical guarantee and system guarantee,and giving full play to the professional function of social organizations.
