Title: Environmental Social Work in Action: The Young Social Workers Network’s Role in Disaster Management and Community Resilience
Abstract:
The Young Social Workers Network (YSWN) recognizes the increasing role of social workers in disaster management, particularly in marginalized and climate-vulnerable communities. This abstract explores the integration of environmental social work principles within disaster response strategies, focusing on the intersection of community resilience, psychosocial support, and post-disaster recovery. The YSWN's advocacy for effective, trauma-informed interventions underscores the importance of training social workers to navigate the complex dynamics of environmental and human-made crises. By leveraging social work’s foundational values of empowerment, advocacy, and social justice, the YSWN aims to contribute to the development of comprehensive and inclusive disaster management frameworks that prioritize the needs of vulnerable populations. This paper highlights the value of interdisciplinary collaboration, the role of social workers in disaster preparedness and recovery, and the importance of community-based approaches to enhance long-term resilience. It emphasizes the need for equitable, climate-responsive disaster management systems that ensure just access to support and resources in times of crisis.
