Guangzhou City earthquake relief frontline command post in 45 days for schools to build thousands of square metres of the school board, supporting the book tables and chairs.

A social worker involved in disaster relief mode
In an interview with reporters prior to the disaster areas, to see that many disaster areas on the lack of expertise in psychological treatment, Luanqiangdaniao reports. Because of post-disaster psychological reconstruction in post-disaster reconstruction is not the real system, at all levels of government and civil society organizations psychological assistance to the lack of overall planning and arrangements, the lack of professional skills and resources between the teams, such as for management problems, indispensable to post-disaster Psychological assistance has become the target of media criticism.
The overseas experience is universal, social workers, psychological treatment is disaster relief and reconstruction indispensable force. But at present the Chinese mainland, people familiar with the relative psychological treatment even so, a more unfamiliar social work profession, it intervene in the disaster areas, how can we make detours less .
Guangzhou social workers in the "12" model of the earthquake disaster is not an effective way .
Guangzhou College of Home + + Communities of the way, let us see the Home, universities and organizations in disaster relief in the complementary advantages and high efficiency.
Home use their social workers responsible for the development of qualified personnel and community management functions to organize all social workers, and to provide financial support for activities, from identity that is more appropriate, at the same time, the Home used to be the government's functional departments, bear in disaster relief Responsibility for the identity of relief aid, for colleges and universities and associations of social workers into disaster areas to lift the local government's misunderstanding of the social workers and alert, do the Government and civil society as a bridge, while the social workers and community colleges and universities can effectively make up for disaster relief in the Home understaffed And expertise not enough to defect, the traditional material and material assistance to the spirit of the all-round assistance, and help others to achieve maximum self-help and enhance China's disaster relief relief level.
"As long as you are engaged in social work education in college, you should go to the disaster areas." Sun Yat-sen University social work profession of teacher-and-so the reporters left a deep impression. In fact, the Guangzhou University of social workers have attached great importance to the teachers and students to compete for the disaster areas. "Universities have a strong professional qualified teachers, social workers have the professional development of social responsibility, to the disaster areas can effectively improve the level of services of social workers, social workers make up for the first-line expertise not enough defects, the training of qualified personnel and social workers to promote social work profession Development itself. "
Societies have extensive practical experience, broad social resources and relatively efficient work mechanism to integrate resources to enhance the efficiency of social workers, social workers to the service functions faster and better play. Most important of all, cooperation between the three incidents involved in the disaster, people can come from the Government, and many other views and interests of a more objective, reflected a more comprehensive manner to ensure that services resources more equitable, more effective role so that disaster Victims to better achieve psychological reconstruction.
