Abstract
ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has been a worldwide crisis. During the pandemic, social workers have proactively participated in providing support. The Good Companions Response Team is a volunteer team started by social workers in Wuhan, China and serving people living in China and Chinese communities around the world. This paper introduces the experiences of the team in the makeshift hospitals in Wuhan and the ‘4 + 1 Online-Offline Remote Support Model’ developed by the team. Our goal is to inspire social workers and other professionals in the Asian Pacific regions to work collaboratively during a similar public health emergency in the future.
