The Community Social Work and Counselling Service 2010

an overview - Download the REPORT

A key method of reaching out to and supporting vulnerable families is through generic community social work and the development of strong collaborative links with parish structures in neighbouring localities. Being a community-based organisation with a community-based drop-in centre has naturally led to a build-up of a generic case-load. Workers seek supervision and mentoring from practitioners from fields most represented by service users. The Psychiatric Nurse attached to the LWIEN service for family care-givers of mentally ill persons mentors and trains personnel in this specialist field and co-works with team members in outreach work.
Social Work, counselling, home-visiting by a nurse, office-based family consultations, non-formal education and support groups are an integral part of the service. A retired nurse – a Sister of Charity with 30 years of nursing experience – maintains a regular case-load of around 40 frail and sick home-bound elderly who feel lonely and isolated. A few volunteers accompany the nurse during some of the daily home-visits to assist with befriending and other support work. During 2010, the Volunteer Nurse carried out a total of 346 support home-visits.
Service team members encourage service users to indicate their interests and try their utmost to enable them to tap into existing education and training activities run by the state and NGOs at both local and national levels and create opportunities where none exist in specific areas of interest. Service users are moreover encouraged to volunteer as part of their personal growth process.


During 2010, SJAF worked intensively with:


- family caregivers of persons with chronic mental health problems;
- youths with mild-to-moderate cognitive impairments and mental health problems;
- disaffected youths at risk of social exclusion;
- grandparents who regularly care for their grandchildren;
- single mothers;
- frail persons with chronic health problems who feel lonely and isolated at home;
- families facing conflicts;
- women in a marriage or other relationship who are poor since their spouse/ partner leaves them unsupported financially;
- families grappling with financial problems.


Apart from the support offered to 412 individuals from 284 families referred during 2010, the service team continued to provide support to another 150 families who continued to receive support from 2009. 166 cases were closed in 2010.
