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.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"37 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126209093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128017643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some experts call it “the Silent Epidemic” because it is estimated that the actual number of events is much higher than reported. Therefore, research on this issue needs to be continued to get input on the cause and effect, impact and prevention efforts. Researches on child sexual abuse and the impact throughout the lives of the survivors is highly important in providing scientific evidences for developing the interventions in social work practice. However, it also comes with very specific challenges when conducting a research on this issue. There are no specific guidelines regarding ethics and methodology in carrying out research on survivors of sexual violence. Therefore, in the future it is important to consider the methodological and ethical aspects before embarking on a research involving survivors of sexual violence. Based on the experience of carrying out this research, the aspects that potentially harm or put participants and researchers at risk can be minimized or even avoided. This experience can also provide reinforcement that research involving trauma survivors can benefit both the affected population as well as social work scientists and practitioners.

The four hundred (400) residents were taken as respondents, using full household enumeration. Most of the respondents in Rodriguez Rizal are purely uplifted and hailed, living a simple modern way of life brought about by industrialization in the region. However, considering the number of years they live in the area, they still have limited earnings due to limited educational qualifications. Most of the family's meager income is spent on their food. Therefore, poverty is always felt among them, so the need for a sustainable livelihood program that is important, productive, and beneficial is required to achieve a fulfilling and meaningful existence. The government provides limited economic and social infrastructure. The results demonstrate that there is a need for a program to enhance their living conditions. It is recommended that in partnership with the local government unit and the school, steps should be taken to improve the community's livelihood by expanding appropriate research-based community services. The following advice was proposed in response to the analysis carried out and from the data collected. A partnership between the Barangay Unit and the Local Government Unit is primarily via the Municipal Office for Social Welfare and Development and the Social Work and Community Development College. A Sitio Sapa Community mobilization operations such as capacity building enable them to be self-confident through the social security program. Through social growth, an extension program links the needs and resources of the Community to the residents of Sitio Sapa as part of the dual objective of the Conditional Cash Transfer being implemented in the region.

Patterns of spending and saving of their left behind families were also investigated. The study employed a mixed methods research approach particularly survey of 150 respondents composed of 75 OFWs and 75 left behind families. An in-depth interview of 15 left behind families and key informants’ interview of three officials of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and Mindanao Migrants Center for Empowerment (MMCEAI) were also conducted to support findings of the survey. Significant findings of the study revealed that the top three spending items of OFWs include remittance to family back home, food and communication. The left behind families, on the other hand, spend the money they receive on education, food, utilities and transportation. The OFWs and their left behind families are able to save and invest. The study also found that some significant correlations exist between and among the following variables such as age, number of years working abroad, type of work, amount saved and amount of remittance. Major recommendations of the study include Financial Literacy and Investment training be given to OFWs and their families. The same trainings should be part of PDOS and Orientation modules given to OFWs and their families.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126651431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
