"Social workers in school" in Sui 15 years, the "mysterious weaving person" of students' healthy growth

At nine o'clock in the morning, the end of the get out of class of Green Crown Modern Experimental School in Haizhu District, Guangzhou sounded. Next to the basketball court, a small space with "Youth Social Workers' Station" was lively, and the work of social workers in the school began.

Since Guangzhou Haizhu has introduced the "Social Workers in Schools" for the first time in 2007, the mechanism of "social workers in school" has been in Guangzhou for nearly 15 years. However, until now, social workers in the school are still wearing a mysterious veil.

On campus, this is a role that is different from teachers, class teachers, and psychological counselors. After spending more than ten years in the social worker industry, Dong Peixing, who has witnessed the social workers in Guangzhou from scratch, said that they need to establish an equal relationship with students and accompany students to face the behavior deviation, emotional confusion, setbacks and injuries that they encounter growth, and complete their minds to complete their minds. Develop and become a complete and strong person.

This is a long process, and there is no answer on the textbooks. Prior to this, students' mental health was increasingly watched by the society. In Dong Peixing's opinion, social workers have never been the net at the bottom, but weaver people, letting the whole society face up to advance prevention work is an important issue for the next period. "At present, social consensus in this regard still needs to be strengthened."

Past event: College students in the Department of Social Work entered elementary schools to cultivate students' resistance

In 2005, shortly after the start of the school in Guangzhou Primary School, a group of Social Working students in Sun Yat -sen University entered Wende Primary School, Dongshan Peizheng Primary School, Agricultural Forestry Lower Road Primary School and Yongzheng North Primary School. In the class room, facing the big eyes under the podium, college students did not teach the "reading scriptures". Instead, they initiated a primary school student anti -inverse training plan. Essence

The university studies are all glowing and fever.

That year, it was only four years before the first bachelor's degree in social work. Three years later, the first social worker institution was born in Guangzhou. Luo Guancui, a professor at the Department of Social Work of CUHK, hopes that students will respond to social pain points as social workers, pay attention to the true situation and development needs of individuals, and find methods to solve problems. Primary school students' anti -inverse training plans come because of this.

At that time, the mental health and behavior deviation of primary and secondary school students became increasingly apparent. In some areas, students have proposed to cultivate students' "resistance" so that students can face the difficulties in the process of growth through their own ability and external support. In 2005, Dong Peixing also studied social workers at CUHK. She recalled that "Teacher Luo won the opportunity to enter the campus, and at the same time introduced the support of local public welfare organizations to bring the Hong Kong anti -inversion identification mechanism and comprehensive course to Guangzhou Come."

In September 2005, 3 graduate students and several undergraduates from CUHK Social Workers began to conduct counseling to 20 students in four pilot schools a week. "No one will be defined as a problem student." Dong Peixing said, "Social workers do not pointed out students' problems in the game, but to guide children to improve their sense of self -efficacy, belonging and optimism Standard, life knowledge and social skills, atmosphere of care support, reasonable and high expectations, and meaningful participation opportunities. "

"At that time, the counseling activities had to be" grab the time "with the interest class most of the time, but many parents and school teachers gradually recognized this matter." Dong Peixing said that later, everyone also sorted out a series of anti -resistance to local development. Small methods of adverse force experience games, classroom conversion applications, parent -child interaction. There is no "problem student" on the campus -everyone is gradually realizing that growth is not only to win results, but also to become a more complete person.

What this group of college students walking into Guangzhou Elementary School did not know that they were inadvertently created more possibilities.

Companion: behavioral deviation is not the same as the problem, who knows the voice behind

In the past, "anti -inverse force" was a luxury. Accompany the children to explore themselves on campus. Social workers, therefore play the role of "companion".

In 2007, Guangzhou Haizhu District was identified as a pilot of social work in the national youth affairs by the Youth League. It is currently the "Social Work of the School" in Guangzhou Jingzhong Experimental Middle School. It is the first social worker agency in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Haizhu District, the first social work development association of the Guangzhou Haizhu District (now the Guangzhou Qichuang Social Work Service Center), the first social worker institution co -founded by Luo Guancui and the students.

The social workers' stations of Green Cui Middle School were built next to the basketball court. At that time, social workers in the school accepted media interviews and said, "The social worker station is very popular. In the past, students liked to gather at the gate of the 'Shiduo' after school. Come to the Social Workers' Station. More than 40 people come to the station every day. "Chi Gang Middle School has set up mailboxes on the basis of the standard configuration of the social worker station. Students can write down their hearts and secrets, put them into the box, and stay in the box, and leave it and leave it. In the next contact information, social workers will ask students to talk according to this information.

"There is a conventional rules between social workers and students: the minds revealed by the students are 'secrets', but they are now the person in charge of the person in charge of the" Youth Zone "social worker project of Haizhu District. Through various ways, students have been found various problems, some are tired of schooling, some rebellion, some are negative, and some are aggressive, but the problems often cover up the real needs of students -children want to be loved, children want to be loved, children are in love, children are in love, children are in love, and children want to be loved. Still losing confidence; whether the family encounters difficulties, or is bullied ... Social workers need to evaluate the real needs of students and intervene in time in a timely manner.

But can a social worker in the school really respond to all the needs of a child?

In the past years, Qichuang's database has recorded many cases involved in early social workers. There are first -day boys by teachers and classmates as "Mixed Little Demon King", and social workers have established professional relations with classmates. With the help of social workers' intervention in intellectual obstacles, the intellectual obstacles made friends with their peers through games, participated in the volunteer service team of social workers, and grew into sunny youths. Later, they were also hired by a four -star hotel.

It is not like a treatment, but more like a companion. It guides children to find answers through cases and group activities. Liu Yushan told reporters that in different situations, the methods of social workers in the school are different. Today, social workers in the Haizhu District have gradually expanded from two middle schools to 13 primary and secondary schools, and a school has a school's service characteristics.

Exploration: Social workers are not that net, but weaving people

Nowadays, the number of workers in Guangzhou has already exceeded 20,000, but social workers in the school are still wearing mysterious veils.

In 2021, the General Office of the Ministry of Education made it clear that each primary and secondary schools must be equipped with at least one full -time psychological health education teacher, do a good job of students' mental health assessment, establish a sound early warning mechanism, and implement precise intervention early. Most people think that mental health education teachers can do the work of social workers in the school, but the actual situation is not the case.

Lei Ting, a social worker who has been rooted in the school for a long time, told reporters, "The current primary and secondary school students are facing a greater emotional psychological and health challenge. After a school evaluation, further verification and screening are needed. , Most students need social workers to intervene. "

If the awareness of career planning is weak, leading to explore career; those who are scarce and inferiority in social relations, excavate and develop their peer relationships; those who are deeply trapped in emotional disorders will excavate the needs behind emotions and respond; for the "stabbing head in the class ", Can provide positive feedback, guide learning to master emotions ...

Lei Ting told reporters that if a social worker focuses on doing cases, it can deal with up to 40 cases a year, and a school is generally equipped with 2 social workers. At this time, there is also a team support behind the social workers in the school that can support a rapidly large -scale assessment. At the same time, the community, family and schools are linked to set up a complete social support network, which is closely related to it. Important role. "

Liu Yushan was responsible for the support of social workers stationed in the school. She said that those who have always helped students out of the predicament have always been students and things of students, schools, families, and communities.带学生到社区参加活动，也会联动社区资源为一些家庭提供具体服务，当这个学校、社区和家庭对孩子都是友好的，孩子才有可能获得持续的成长支持。”在刘玉珊看来，社工It is not the net at the bottom. As a webman, everyone solves the problem at the front end.

For a long time, it is only possible for social workers to weave this network, but the development bottleneck of social workers in the school is exactly here.

"For the buyer of the service, it pays more attention to the quantitative indicators that can be achieved during the project cycle. It is often reflected in the number of services that correct and critical prevention. It is difficult to reflect. "

Liu Yushan analyzed that the social support network needs to be cultivated for a long time. The intervention of education and tutoring is sometimes not effective immediately, so advance prevention has not become a consensus of society. This has brought more difficulties to the construction of the network and the creation of the atmosphere. "

However, Liu Yushan added, "Now, more and more people have paid attention to this sector. Through policy advocacy and practical work exploration and breakthroughs, we also believe that social workers in the school will still play more and more for the protection of minors. energy."
