Community empowerment is one form of implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) carried out by companies. In its implementation, there are various models and strategies that can be used to support implementation. In Indonesia, the study of community empowerment by companies has become a new tradition in the development of CSR models. In the last decade, various models of community empowerment by companies have developed resulting from research related to CSR, especially those that examine community empowerment. This research is a systematic literature review to analyze the model of community empowerment by companies that are reviewed based on dissertation research sources published in the 2013-2020 period by Sebelas Maret University. There are 9 dissertation studies that were analyzed to find a synthesis of community empowerment models in corporate social responsibility programs. The majority of the studies were conducted in case studies with a qualitative approach. The findings of this study are that the model of community empowerment by companies in Indonesia is developed based on the “local context” and “actor relations” that exist within the scope of the community empowerment program.

The Sembako program is one of the social protection programs launched by the Government of Indonesia to overcome poverty by providing food assistance. The sembako program is also expected to increase financial inclusion by using the prosperous family card as an electronic money and savings feature. This study uses a proper governance perspective with the research location in Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the implementation of the Sembako program went well. However, the recipients complain that the types, quantities, and goods received are different from the instructed provisions, so they are not in accordance with the principles of proper governance. The sembako program contributes little to increasing financial inclusion because the KKS Card can only be used to take assistance from the sembako program and cannot access other banking services. It was found that the KKS Card was not held by the recipient of the basic food program, and the recipient did not memorize the KKS Card Pin. This study recommends that all shops and stalls carry out the distribution of the sembako program without being limited to certain stalls. The sembako program is not packaged so that beneficiaries are free to take basic food assistance according to the needs of their families.

The state of mental health among Filipino college students remains a major concern, especially in the context of the pandemic. Cases of mental health-related problems have been seen to have risen, particularly among tertiary-level students. Fortunately, academic institutions are working to address these ongoing issues that hinder students' social functioning. However, there is a need for further research on the actual presence of psychosocial support services in universities to know and understand how school systems address the concerning problem about the mental health of their students. Identifying and discerning these support systems, as well as the gaps that come with them, is crucial in providing relevant knowledge and information for the students, faculty, and university administrators alike, to be more aware of the pressing need to come up with strategies and plans in the form of equipping more effective and more efficient psychosocial support systems to ultimately help college students in need. This paper identifies the psychosocial support systems in place among Metro Manila universities that offer social work degree programs, including the benefits, opportunities, risks, and challenges they have come across, to provide a background of what is happening and what is needed to attain social functioning, all for the students’ well-being.

This paper explores the needs of Afghan women living in Chiba, Japan through participatory observation, a co-organized health seminar, and in-depth interviews with Afghan women and relevant stakeholders.It became clear that the women's needs were mainly related to finding their place in Japanese society, such as making Japanese friends and having paid jobs, and acquiring the tools to go to places such as hospitals and city halls by themselves. Here, the Japanese language skills often seemed to be at the root.Iconclude that the Japanese government and the local municipality fail in providing systematic support to meet the needs of Afghan women, and that they rely too much on volunteer-based organizations. Structural systems of local volunteer organizations and Japanese institutions such as hospitals contribute to the maintenance of traditional gender norms of the community, and make it difficult for women to find a place in Japanese society and to exercise their agency. The strength and drive of Afghan women andthe already established trusted relationship with Japanese channels show that there is a high potential for successful social integration of this group when appropriate support is made available, which will eventually improve their wellbeing

Welcome to Open Journal System of ASEAN Social Work Journal Vol. 10, No. 2, December 2022. It is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal. Previously, the journal Volume one to nine were published in two versions: printed and online versions uploaded to the website of ASEAN Social Work Consortium (ASWC). Starting from Vol. 10, No. 1, June 2022 we also applied an Open Journal System (OJS), in the hope that readers and the spread of authors’ research would be much broader. The birth of this journal is a significant part of the dynamic movement among ASEAN country members. This publication is an implementation of the workplan formulated at the first meeting of ASEAN Social Work Consortium (ASWC) in Manila in the year of 2011. Social work around the world, especially in ASEAN countries, is facing new challenges and roles as the impact of covid-19 pandemic. The loss of the parets’role because they die due to covid-19, digitalization in all aspects of life, both business and social life because during the pandemic people have to do activities from home, so digitalization has become a new habit; people are also increasingly individualized because during the covid-19 pandemic they have to keep distance, even though the ASEAN communities generally have strong ties. Although at present the pandemic is becoming better, however, it has already caused major changes in people's lives. Social workers as agents of change are needed to support communities to learn and practice new norms and life skills as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. Only if people can adapt to new ways of life, then people can survive and be socially functioning On behalf of the Indonesian Social Work Consortium (ISWC), we are thanking all of you for your support and contribution as the Editors/Reviewers and Authors.
