ABSTRACT In the midst of a pandemic, many social work students are currently displaced from their field education, while the needs of their communities are exacerbated. Due to stay-at-home orders, the risk of experiencing social isolation and loneliness, already a major social problem prior to the crisis, has increased, especially for older adults. Seeking to step up in the context of a public emergency, graduate social work students in the United States created a project called GiftsofGab.org, which is a volunteer call-based companion coordination project that connects social work students with those in need of social interaction. We provide a case study of this project and argue that this kind of student-initiated action learning project can provide a workable alternative field placement model in times of crisis and is consistent with the community practice mission of social work.

大流行中的隔离:社会工作学生迅速响应社区和实地工作需求

摘要 在大流行中,许多社会工作专业的学生目前无法接受实地教育,而他们所在社区的需求也在加剧。由于居家令,在危机之前已经是一个主要社会问题的社会孤立和孤独的风险增加了,尤其是对老年人而言。为了在公共紧急情况下挺身而出,美国的研究生社会工作学生创建了一个名为 GiftsofGab.org 的项目,这是一个基于志愿者呼叫的同伴协调项目,将社会工作学生与需要社交互动的人联系起来.
