Abstract

Almost all nations in the world are affected by the migration phenomena, which is becoming more and more widespread and complex. Although they are frequently connected to the concept of globalization in general, the broad social, economic, and political grounds of this movement are varied and not always necessarily known. This paper introduces qualitative research findings from the semi-structured interview with the migrant, who made up her mind to change her life by moving from her home country to Poland in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper utilized such concepts as migration, student mobility, culture shock, the COVID-19 crisis, and social service provision to analyze the findings of the interview. The results from the interview demonstrate the fragmented story full of challenges that the migrant experienced including cultural adaptation, economic constraints, and social support. Despite challenges, the interview participant was able to look at her life opportunistically and gladly shared her story filled with kind people and lessons learned. On the example of one story, this qualitative research helps to reveal some gaps in the social support and migration systems to be improved as well as foresee some issues with migration restrictions in the future.

Abstract

The Case Study of Azat (name is changed) represents a joint effort of data gathering from the Researcher, the Social Pedagogue and other community members from one of the remote local schools in Kyrgyzstan. By using phenomenological research methods including non-structured interviews (n=3), observations and field trips, the researcher strived to understand and describe the essence of the phenomenon of suicide in a conservative country, like Kyrgyzstan. The study highlights the challenging circumstances faced by Azat, a 14-year-old residing in a village in Kyrgyzstan. Azat's family grapples with financial instability, parent’s labor migration, and sibling abuse, all of which have led to distressing experiences for him, including two suicide attempts. The analysis emphasizes the significance of understanding ecological systems and societal constructs in social work practice. It underscores the vital role of social workers in advocating for marginalized individuals like Azat, with suggested interventions including psychological support, collaboration with school professionals, and ongoing family visits to monitor progress and provide assistance. This case exemplifies the critical need for holistic, empathetic, and culturally sensitive social work interventions in addressing complex psychosocial challenges within vulnerable families.
