What is the Social Work and Volunteering Area of Parc Taulí?
It is one of the services that the person and / or family may need to address and treat the socio-familial difficulties generated by the disease, both acute and chronic.

The Area of Social Work and Volunteering, made up of 20 professionals, is present in all the centers of the Corporation, except in the UDIAT, and depends on Nursing Management.
What is social work?
The mission of social work is to attend to the social and emotional support needs of the person and their environment, derived and / or generated from an acute and / or chronic process of illness in the field of health.
Any health problem also generates psychosocial discomfort. Therefore, it is necessary to have a broader vision, beyond the purely biological one, to establish a complete diagnosis and more adjusted to the reality of the person. It is what is called the concept of biopsychosocial health (WHO, 1947).
Thus, the approach is carried out from a comprehensive perspective, through interdisciplinary work, which guarantees continuity of care and bearing in mind the opinions, values and beliefs of the person.
Social work within the framework of a health and socio-health institution must establish and agree on coordination mechanisms with other levels of care in the Health System and with the other Social Services institutions in the territory.

This aid process can be carried out with or without the need for external resources: material, technical and / or human.

Information and advice
The social worker, after assessing the socio-family situation, guides and manages, if necessary, human and organizational resources, contributing to the administration of public liability benefits, their distribution and the protection of the most dependent populations, according to the rights recognized by the welfare state.
The information they ask us most often is:

- Specific resources for drug addicts
- Benefits and financial aid
- Technical aids
- Education and formation
- Sexuality
- Work
- habitatge

Coordination
Coordination is a specific tool within social work. In this sense, our profession is a pioneer as this tool is implicit in our work that helps us to make a complete social diagnosis.
Due to the specialization of centers, services and equipment, coordination has become an indispensable practice in the intervention of the social worker because clients go through the services of different levels of care with great ease.
Coordination is carried out intra-institutionally (members of the care team) and inter-institutionally, with professionals from:- Primary and / or specialized social care services
- Health services in general
- Other services of the municipality (schools, security forces, residences ...)
- External services in the region and / or province
