摘要

This chapter proposes a practice model for social work disaster intervention and recovery that has been tested and developed through various real situations, as shown in two case studies. In the last two decades, Social Workers Across Borders (SWAB) developed the Integrative Digital—Assessment, Triage, Crisis intervention, Education and Recovery Model (D-ATCER Model) of disaster social work. During the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, SWAB modified and supplemented the ACT approach into an ATCER model which applies to community and online crisis responses. ATCER was practiced again in 2022 to mitigate the negative impacts caused by the Omicron attack in Hong Kong. A “Care Shield Project” to enhance family resilience was offered, mainly administered online. It combined social work and counseling, individual care and community services, and digital and face-to-face interventions in a comprehensive, continuous, and integrated manner. To improve on previous practice models, a Continuous-Integrated-Comprehensive Disaster Social Work Model is presented and discussed. More courageously, to bring disaster social work to a central role in overall emergency management, a Holistic Interdisciplinary and Humanistic Disaster Care Framework (HIH-DCF) is conceptualized and presented for academic explorations.
