Developmental social work employs a strategy of social investment. In order to carry out complete social participation of individuals, the social services should be community-based, involving mechanisms of economy activities, and leaning to empowerment model. This study analyzes two social service programs at Wan-Hua area, Taipei, Taiwan. Studied are the Shin- An Vender of Taiwan Community Practice Association and Person-Centered Tour Guide Training Project of Taiwan Dream City Building Association. Methods used include a group interview of the workers, secondary data analysis of posts on their Facebook page, and participatory observation in their activities in 2016. The study finds the programs employ economic mechanism as a hub for participants' transition into social participation in wider scope. They integrate individuals' strengths and community's assets in the programs. Participants' power at personal and interpersonal levels are improved. The strategy of empowering relationship between the workers and participants varits by developmental stage of the participants. For better financial return and societal-level power, both programs and similar ones may consider to implement the community-based principal proactively. That is, services may apply more methods of community work so that services can be linked to community network closely. Moreover, developmental case work model indicates frat it's helpful to include economic aspects in the assessment and planning stages. Implications for practice, education, and policy are discussed. |
