IDENTITIES AND CRISES. THE SOCIAL WORKER, A PROFESSIONAL OF SOCIAL INTERVENTION

Abstract

The  global crisis caused  by the  spread  of COVID-19 disease  is a difficult period  for humanity,  apart  from other  catastrophes,  such as floods, fires, the refugees' conditions etc. The social effects are immediate, such as: major changes in people's relationships, lifestyle and the quality of their lives. Prolonged isolation becomes extremely stressful to people and it can reach serious mental illnesses .The mass media points  out that  in a pandemic, many parents turn to counselling sessions because their children have became neurotic.  The  online  courses  have  a major  effect on  pupils'  psyche, with  the  risk  of emotional disturbances that may occur due to overexposure to the screen, isolation, repressed  emotions  and  not  discussing  with  parents  or  friends.  This  article  reveals effective interventions of the school social worker in order to get out of the crisis.
