Research On The Action Strategy Of Social Work Agency Involved In The Self-employment Of ASD Families ——Taking The X Agency In C City As An Example

The number of people with mental disabilities in my country is conservatively estimated to be 10 million,and the actual employment rate is less than 2%.In the field of social work,the perspectives of cognitive rehabilitation,social support,and family empowerment have effectively explained the intervention paths of social work for mentally handicapped groups,but studies from different perspectives have not paid enough attention to their employment and entrepreneurship service issues.At the same time,because people with mental disabilities need lifelong rehabilitation,in some families,one parent must give up work,resulting in mentally handicapped families(also referred to as "xin families" hereinafter)facing both mental and economic pressures.While families are facing a crisis,self-employment or entrepreneurship based on family units has become a feasible way to promote their economic recovery.In view of this,combined with the practice experience,this paper uses the interview method and participatory observation method to explore the action strategies of front-line social work organizations in the field of entrepreneurship for mentally handicapped families based on the service process of X institution in C city to promote the entrepreneurship of mentally handicapped families.At the level of theoretical framework,this paper uses the Timmons entrepreneurial process model and the perspective of social network to understand the entrepreneurial service process of mentally handicapped families.At the same time,it presents the action course of X social work agency's family entrepreneurship service,explains its action strategy,analyzes its service dilemma,and tries to give a service improvement response.The study found that the service process of Institution X's involvement in mentally handicapped services presented three stages: social rehabilitation-parent volunteer linkage services-mentally handicapped families' joint entrepreneurship.In order to help families start their own business,X agency implements action strategies from three aspects: opportunity,team and resource network.During this process,Institution X faces challenges in terms of professional role,balance of market power,integration of internal and external resources,and sustainable operation of entrepreneurial results.The study believes that carrying out task-oriented professional training,advocating the joint entrepreneurial development of inclusive families with mental disabilities,integrating multiple resources,and exploring a sustainable operation mode of social and economic dual value interaction will help to further improve the service level.The layout of this paper is as follows,the first chapter is the introduction;the second chapter is the key concepts and theoretical analysis;the third chapter is the service process of the X organization's involvement in the family;the fourth chapter is the analysis of the X organization's action strategy from the perspective of social network;Chapter 6 is the practical dilemma and professional re-exploration of the service of Xin's family entrepreneurship;Chapter 6 is the research conclusion and discussion.
