            The aim of the course is to prepare students for social work with clients who are in crisis and difficult life circumstances. Social work with this category of clients is carried out within the "crisis situation", as a result of which, under the influence of external and internal factors, previously formed behavioral strategies are violated, and mechanisms to restore balance are absent. Such work requires mastery of the technology of providing social and psychological emergency support to clients in crisis. Therefore, the organization of social work is based on a problem-oriented approach, which involves the activation and maintenance of the client's abilities and resources.
