Chapter 2's content: Investigating the current state of understanding of group social work among staff at the Friendship Village; and how group social work has been applied to children affected by Agent Orange at the Village. In the application of group social work to the children at the Friendship Village, the author presents the application of group social work in the areas of care and nurturing; rehabilitation and functional treatment; and vocational education and training. The author also identifies the effectiveness of applying group social work to children affected by Agent Orange at the Friendship Village and the factors influencing that effectiveness. After analyzing the factors affecting the effectiveness of the group social work methods applied at the Village, the author identifies the most pressing needs of the children that group social work activities at the Village have not yet effectively addressed.
Chapter 3: Based on identifying the essential needs of children that the Village has not yet met, the author proposes intervention measures to assist children affected by Agent Orange. The author conducted an experiment using group social work methods on children affected by Agent Orange at the Vietnam Friendship Village to improve their ability to integrate into the community. As a result, after the intervention, the children were equipped with knowledge to understand their self-worth, improved communication and problem-solving skills, developed effective teamwork skills, and received career guidance and vocational training. Consequently, their awareness, attitudes, and behaviors have undergone positive changes.
