Poor or limited access to both material and immaterial resources hinders the ability of these populations to confront the damages and losses caused by disasters, and thereby restore their material and psychosocial well-being in a timely and effective manner. This note is particularly concerned with guiding countries in the design and implementation of methodologies typically used in Social Work, such as family support, case management, and other interventions, in disaster contexts in order to contribute to the construction of Adaptive Social Protection (ASP) systems. Social Work strategies can be employed within ASP systems to help identify and reduce risks, determine appropriate responses, and support strengthening the resilience of affected individuals and families. 2020-07-16T21:22:57Z 2020-07-16T21:22:57Z 2020-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/150661593595887328/Using-Social-Work-Interventions-to-Address-Climate-and-Disaster-Risks-in-Latin-America-and-the-Caribbean-Guidance-Note http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34137 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Social Protection Study Latin America & Caribbean Caribbean Latin America
