Social work plays an important role in reintegrating individuals
into society, educating, raising awareness, implementing social
policy, and realizing legal regulations. The emergence of digital
innovations and the effects of health problems including the
COVID-19 pandemic on individuals and society have led to the
development of innovations, virtual/digital practices, and
applications in this field. The contributions of the recent
pandemic and digital transformation to social work and practices
should be revealed in the context of international standards.
Policies, Protocols, and Practices for Social Work in the Digital
World presents the current best practices, policies, and protocols
within international social work. It focuses on the impact of
digital applications, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and
digital transformation on social work. Covering topics including
burnout, management, social engineering, anti-discrimination
strategies, and women's studies, this book is essential for social
workers, policymakers, government officials, scientists, clinical
professionals, technologists, practitioners, researchers,
academicians, and students.
Just days after September 11, 2001, Kenneth Feinberg was appointed
to administer the federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, a unique,
unprecedented fund established by Congress to compensate families
who lost a loved one on 9/11 and survivors who were physically
injured in the attacks. Those who participated in the Fund were
required to waive their right to sue the airlines involved in the
attacks, as well as other potentially responsible entities. When
the program was launched, many families criticized it as a brazen,
tight-fisted attempt to protect the airlines from lawsuits. The
Fund was also attacked as attempting to put insulting dollar values
on the lives of lost loved ones. The families were in pain. And
they were angry. Over the course of the next three years, Feinberg
spent almost all of his time meeting with the families, convincing
them of the generosity and compassion of the program, and
calculating appropriate awards for each and every claim. The Fund
proved to be a dramatic success with over 97% of eligible families
participating. It also provided important lessons for Feinberg, who
became the filter, the arbitrator, and the target of family
suffering. Feinberg learned about the enduring power of family
grief, love, fear, faith, frustration, and courage. Most
importantly, he learned that no check, no matter how large, could
make the families and victims of 9/11 whole again.

Wouldn't charity governance be so much easier if it wasn't for all
of your fellow trustees? Being knowledgeable and experienced as a
trustee is important, but having the ability to interact
effectively with your fellow board members, that is where good
governance really starts. Get it wrong and, very quickly, you've
got a battle on the board. Working in sustained harmony towards a
common goal can be a tall order for many trustees. Debra Allcock
Tyler's approach to this challenging subject is characteristically
engaging as she adopts a different ABBA tune as the theme for each
chapter. Frank and with real-life examples firmly to the fore, she
mixes leadership theory with practical advice delivered straight
from the shoulder. It includes: * Understanding the trustee role *
Working with fellow trustees and the CEO * Compliance and
regulation * Dealing with information and understanding the money *
The psychology of decision-making * Managing risk and handling
crisis So, if you are a trustee or about to become one, you will
benefit from the insights and hard-won wisdom distilled in this
book. If you want to be the dancing queen (or king) of good
governance and avoid a waterloo for your charity, then this book is
for you.
The book is about the human condition: suffering, emotional and
psychological distress, identity, existence, and reality. It
examines these issues at the physical, biological, psychological,
sociocultural, linguistic, discursive, and spiritual levels,
comparing and evaluating, as well as integrating where possible, a
broad range of approaches and theories to provide a holistic
understanding of the person. This book accomplishes the following:
charts a range of cross-disciplinary approaches and theories
relating to human nature, experience and behaviour; suggesting,
within each of these how they may be seen to relate to the human
condition, suffering, and to reducing emotional and psychological
distress discusses current postmodernist/post-structuralist
concerns about the essence of what we are (i.e. whether we really
are essential and substantial individuals, or whether we are merely
sociolinguistic and sociocultural constructs or subjects)
incorporates eastern philosophies and psychologies in relation to
what we are, reality, the mind, the self, and suffering identifies,
in its conclusion, a number of elicited principles and practices a
person may incorporate into their daily living to reduce suffering
and increase psychological and emotional well-being and offers a
schematic representation of its general concepts in relation to the
human condition, its levels, components, and processes, which can
be used to refer to or underpin understanding and for readers'
further discussion, exploration and researches
