From Social Support to Social Support Network:Towards a Practice Pattern of Social Support for the Disadvantaged

Emphasis should be placed on the process of sending and transferring social support so as to enhance the efficiency of social support. This paper proposes a pattern of social support network based on the theory of social network, which regards supporting and being supported as a continuing interactive process, and aims at integrating all the resources of social support and organizing a social support network among the disadvantaged themselves. Such a network can help solve all kinds of problems encountered in the process of transferring social support and follow up various measures so that active participation and self-actualization of the disadvantaged may be enhanced. Therefore, it is necessary to solve such problems as setting up bases in communities, training professional social workers, establishing public welfare organizations, and promoting the idea of sharing resources, etc.
