This study analyzes the social practice of professionals who provide reception services to young people in not-for-profit organizations. The results show the lack of transformative capacity of social practice, the precariousness of resources, and increasingly restrictive policies weakening the objective of social intervention to promote the social inclusion of these young people in the host society. Therefore, professionals implement “invisible social practices” as strategic support for these young people when the constraints of the reception and integration programs prevent the provision of effective services and support.KEYWORDS: Young refugees and asylum seekersreception systemsocial interventionintersectionalitysituational and inherent vulnerability Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

Once the Office of Asylum and Refugee (OAR) accepts the asylum application, people receive an International Protection Application Document that grants a temporary residence in Spanish territories until their asylum case is resolved. After six months, they receive another document (commonly called “Red Card” due to the color of the paper that it is printed on) which grants a temporary residence and work permit.5. The arraigo social is a temporary residence due to exceptional circumstances that are granted to people with an irregular legal status once they proved they have lived in Spanish territories for at least three years.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135344601","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}

While these two pandemics appear to be different in nature, both pandemics attest to the fact that systemic racism continues to be a grand challenge in our society. It is appalling to see how COVID-19 differentially affects communities and people of color as well as socially disadvantaged groups. Systemic racism and police brutality are related to the unacceptable violation of human rights of diverse groups in the US and globally. The present moment provides distinct challenges and opportunities for the promise of the social work profession. Social work has long distinguished itself as a profession ethically bound to stand for social justice. Generations of emerging social workers matriculate in accredited social work programs to uphold this value in service to and with those populations regulated to the margins who have disproportionately suffered from the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and police violence. With years of experience as social work researchers and educators, the editorial board views the special issue as representing the profession’s values of confronting systemic racism. The articles are timely from social work scholars and educators in a time where the threat, at least in one state of the proposed legislation would fire tenured faculty for teaching tenets of critical race theory. Knowledge becomes politicized in the context of the dual pandemics. There has been intense tension across state legislation and schools on whether discrimination and bias should be addressed in education. Many states across the United States have proposed bills to control CRT in schools: https://www.edweek.org/ policy-politics/map-where-critical-race-theory-is-under-attack/2021/06. Refusing to be deterred, the authors of special issue articles offer intellectually sound examination, conceptualization, and rigor in providing viable, socially just, responsive paths forward. This Special Issue includes articles that focus on anti-racist pedagogy in social work education, conceptual discussion contributing to refining a shared understanding of constructs relevant to anti-racist social work, and micro, mezzo, and macro social work practice that aims to prevent or eliminate the negative impact of racism as well as promote racial justice, equity, and inclusion among individuals, families, groups, organizations, or communities.

In this article, we discuss this demand for migrant labor and implications for social work. We argue that a labor-focused framework as critical perspective would complement the rights-based, participatory frameworks that inform social work scholarship and practice with immigrants, together accounting for systemic racism, global and national inequality, and discrimination embedded in immigration and social policies and forms of practice. In the first place, by recognizing how non-immigrants and immigrants are inextricably linked through structural means of production and consumption, social workers would develop deeper empathy toward immigrant clients and communities, leading to interactions that are empowering and affirming, and thus effective. Direct practice interventions would be richly informed, as practitioners account for immigrants’ work environment, such as difficult work conditions, low wages and lack of benefits, that often impact clients and families. A labor-focused perspective also points to areas of social work advocacy and meso/macro practice, those focusing on workers’ rights and immigration policy.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"31 1","pages":"275 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47649398","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}
