Research On The Intervention Of Group Work In De Facto Orphans’ Development From The Perspective Of Postive Youth Development Theory

Juvenile strength is national strength,juvenile wisdom is national wisdom.The positive and healthy development of young people has always been related to the future and destiny of a country.According to incomplete statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs,by the end of 2020,the number of virtually unsupported children(de facto orphans)in China had reached 253,000,and these de facto orphans are mostly taken care of by grandparents or close relatives without a complete family.Under the care of the relevant government departments,all parties are also exploring effective practical orphan relief models.Through the efforts in recent years,various localities have gradually formed the establishment of specialized institutions as the mainstream,adopting the way of centralized adoption to carry out the relief work for the de facto orphans.Today,de facto orphans entering specialized agencies have removed the risk of basic insecurity,but on the other hand,material supplies tend to meet their normal survival needs.Many de facto orphans entering specialized agencies still lack positive support from the spiritual world,and the overall performance is not ideal.Through an in-depth investigation of Deren Court in F County,the author has learned that institutional orphans have the following behavioral characteristics: First,they are generally not active in learning.Boys like games,while girls like to follow TV dramas and stars.Second,the social interaction is single and fixed,the behavior is more solitary.Third,they have certain self-management ability,but lack of confidence.Fourth,the discipline is better,the sense of obedience is stronger.In order to better guide the positive and healthy growth of orphans,this paper takes self-confidence,ability,connection,character and empathy in the theory of positive youth development as the intervention goal,and takes self-efficacy,learning ability,interpersonal communication and good character as the intervention content to carry out "sunshine growth,positive life" youth growth education group activities.At the same time,the following research purposes were established: first,to understand the basic situation of Deren Court’de orphans,and to evaluate the development of de fact orphans,including self-confidence,learning ability,social relations and good character.Secondly,through the working methods of the group to guide the active development of de facto orphans,to help their healthy growth.Finally,this paper explores the intervention effect of Deren orphans from the perspective of active youth development theory,and provides feasible suggestions for perfecting the model of Deren orphans.In general,through the guidance of positive youth development theory and the use of group work methods to provide social work services for factual orphans,it is not only to help individuals develop fully and healthily,but also to guide the society to look at the development of adolescents in an all-round way.However,there is still a lot of space for social work to explore the fact of orphans,which is worth more profound thinking and research.
