Abstract

Recognizing the importance of children’s participation in ensuring cognitive and social skills development of children, value formation and citizenship, better decision-making for child-centered programs, and strengthening child protection systems, this paper aims to propose a social work model on enhancing children participation in school governance. The model focuses on child-centered intervention approach in addressing the issues and barriers to children’s meaningful participation in decision-making in a public elementary school. Drawing on the assessment conducted in Kalayan Elementary School on the extent and quality of children’s participation, the author proposes a social work model in ensuring the representation of the pupils in the school-based management committee of a public elementary school. The social work model was developed through: (1) needs assessment and further analysis of data using problem tree analysis; (2) developing theory of change to guide the social workers in attaining the desired changes; and (3) creation of a social work model that encapsulates the proposed intervention and expected outcomes.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify individuals best suited for counselling occupations using the Holland RIASEC Model and the FIKR (Facet, Insight, Knowledge, and Resilience) Profiling Assessment Tool. A total of 190 respondents were assessed, focusing on six personality dimensions—Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E), and Conventional (C). Results showed that 40 respondents (21.05%) were highly suitable for counselling roles, characterized by high Social scores, often paired with strong Investigative traits. Demographically, older female respondents demonstrated a slight advantage, suggesting that life experience may enhance counselling effectiveness. The study emphasizes the value of targeted training programs to further develop counselling competencies among identified individuals. These findings provide a foundation for selecting and developing candidates for counselling roles, ensuring they possess the necessary interpersonal and analytical skills. The research contributes to understanding career alignment and highlights the importance of personality assessment in professional development. By identifying individuals naturally inclined toward counselling, the study supports the creation of tailored training programs, benefiting educational institutions, employers, and policymakers involved in the recruitment and training of counselling professionals.

Abstract

Children and Adolescents living with HIV and AIDS (CALHIV) are one of the most vulnerable populations, especially those living in underserved and marginal communities. This article presents lessons learned and challenges of a Community Home-Based Care (CHBC) intervention by Lentera Anak Pelangi (LAP). This intervention program was initiated as an extension service during the university’s research for a Harm Reduction Program to prevent HIV infection among injecting drug users (IDUs) managed by the HIV and AIDS Research Center, Atma Jaya Indonesian Catholic University (ARC-AJCUI). LAP was established to respond to community reports about children of IDUs who were neglected by community and families. Since 2009, AJCUI, assisted by government agencies, communities and professionals have supported the children of IDUs who were impacted (affected or infected) by HIV, by advocating their families and communities lacking the right information and education about HIV, and. providing access to resources to fulfill the children’s basic needs and rights. Case file data accumulated over 15 years are presented to highlight LAP journeys as one of the very few HIV community organization providing home-based and multi-disciplinary intervention programs that fills the void in Indonesia’s HIV services and make significant impacts to the lives of CALHIV in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the barangay-led interventions for Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) in the three barangays in Quezon City, Philippines, under Republic Act 9344. Using a multiple-case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 key stakeholders, direct field observations, and document analysis to examine how developmental, preventive, and remedial programs are integrated across intervention levels. Findings show that while barangays implement a range of programs for CICL, these tend to be programmatic rather than child-centered. The study found that the local government unit, through the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC), implements primary interventions centered on community development, including advocacy initiatives, curfew enforcement, security enhancement, and budget allocation for child protection programs. On the other hand, the secondary interventions involved direct engagement with children through structured dialogues, case management, educational support, counseling, parent education, and organized developmental activities aimed at strengthening protective factors and mitigating delinquent activities. Tertiary interventions that were implemented aimed to address legal concerns by facilitating monitoring, conducting feedback sessions, and implementing reintegration strategies to support CICL while also preventing recidivism. The study highlights the importance of a well-functioning BCPC and recommends capacity-building initiatives, professional practice enhancement, and policy reforms to strengthen community-based, child-focused interventions facilitated by social workers and paraprofessionals.

Abstract

This study reconceptualizes outreach as a preventive social work practice aimed at facilitating early access to support for individuals and families who remain invisible to formal support systems, with a particular focus on families of foreign origin (FFO) in Japan who face structural and social barriers to accessing support information. To empirically examine this form of preventive outreach, the study analyzes the outcomes of a multilingual web advertisement campaign implemented by a Japanese non-profit organization Florence. The analysis draws on outreach activities conducted through Global Oyako Chat initiative, which disseminated support information in English, Tagalog, and Vietnamese language. Data, such as number of ads displayed (n = 2,643,927), click-throughs (n = 18,467), and “Add Friend” button clicks (n = 343) were analyzed and further disaggregated by language, users’ gender, device type, and residential area to identify patterns of engagement and access behavior. The findings indicate that, in contrast to conventional outreach that primarily targets “visible clients” whose challenges are already apparent, web-based outreach enables connection with “invisible clients” whose needs may be unrecognized or have not yet fully emerged. This approach can be characterized as a form of preventive outreach, enhancing early access to support before problems escalate. The findings suggest that, when thoughtfully designed and implemented, digital outreach strategies can help bridge structural gaps and improve access to support information for underserved FFO communities in Japan.

Abstract

While suicide is widely recognized as a serious concern, there is limited research on how young people perceive and respond to suicide risk among their peers. Our research aims to explore Kyrgyzstani university students' awareness and personal connections to suicide risk among peers, as well as their likelihood to intervene. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 239 university students in Kyrgyzstan, employing an instrument based on the Bystander Intervention (BSI) Model. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, visualizations, and thematic grouping of open-ended questions to identify trends and insights. Students show a strong awareness of the severity in Kyrgyzstan. While students view suicidal ideation as an emergency, they struggle to identify manipulative behaviors and specific signs. Students are generally willing to intervene but lack the knowledge and confidence for concrete actions. This study highlighted the critical role of personal experience, awareness, and skill development in shaping students' readiness to support peers at suicidal risk, emphasizing the need for targeted educational interventions to equip bystanders with effective knowledge and resources for proactive suicide prevention.
