The Use Of Group Work In The Cultivation Of The Service Ability Of Elderly Environmental Protection Volunteers

In the current society,the degree of aging and aging continues to deepen.After retirement,the elderly are different from those before retirement in terms of life and spirit.They are prone to loneliness,loss,uselessness and other negative emotions.In order to alleviate such negative emotions and realize their own sense of value,more and more elderly people join the ranks of volunteers.The year 2020 is the decisive year to fight the three-year battle of pollution prevention and control,and the final year of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.After the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,the construction of ecological civilization has been included in the overall layout of "five in one".With the national emphasis on environmental protection work,it is also necessary to develop a group of elderly environmental protection volunteers in the community to assist in the publicity,promotion and guidance of environmental protection in the community.Therefore,the elderly environmental volunteers in the field of environmental protection can play an increasingly important role.At the same time of the increasing number of elderly environmental protection volunteers,we also need to pay attention to the cultivation of their volunteer service ability,enhance their service spirit,improve service skills and knowledge,and summarize and accumulate service experience to enhance the service effectiveness of elderly environmental protection volunteers.However,at present,there are few practical researches on social work involving the elderly environmental protection volunteers,which is still in the exploration stage.From the practical point of view,guided by the theory of super individualism,the theory of active aging and the perspective of advantages,the research group involved in the cultivation of service ability of elderly environmental protection volunteers.There are mainly four aspects of research: first,through questionnaire survey and semistructured interviews to collect data.This paper points out three characteristics of the elderly environmental protection volunteers,namely,the large proportion of women,the lack of correct understanding of the spirit of volunteerism and the lack of volunteer service experience.In addition,they also have less knowledge of environmental protection,lack of environmental protection skills and lack of professional communication skills.Second,through demand analysis,develop service plans and carry out group work.Third,after the group activity,according to the group performance and the questionnaire survey after the activity,the existing problems of the group members have been improved,such as being able to correctly understand the connotation of volunteerism,correct the attitude of volunteer service,master the latest garbage classification knowledge,expand the way of learning environmental protection knowledge,generate the awareness of old things transformation,and enrich the understanding of communication skills,Accumulate environmental protection volunteer service experience,etc.Fourth,evaluate the effectiveness,advantages and disadvantages of the work of the group,and put forward targeted reflections and suggestions,such as combining case work and community work to carry out services,using a variety of group leadership methods,linking various external resources,and carrying out various types of group activities,hoping to provide reference and improve the deficiencies.Combined with practical experience,on the one hand,we found a feasible way for group work to cultivate the service ability of the elderly environmental protection volunteers,which can effectively mobilize the community participation of the elderly environmental protection volunteers,help them to improve their service ability and service quality.On the other hand,it enriches the practice field of group social work and the theoretical knowledge of social work for the elderly.
