A “vulnerable” or “special” or “at-risk” population member is an individual who has challenges and/or needs that surpass those of the majority population members. These vulnerable groups share characteristics that cause each member to be susceptible to particular events and challenges. Vulnerable/special/at-risk populations include the economically, mentally and/or socially disadvantaged; racial and ethnic minorities; the uninsured; children, especially those in low-income families; the elderly; the homeless; individuals with HIV; the mentally ill and the chemically addicted. The vulnerability of these individuals is exacerbated by poverty/low income, race, ethnicity, age, gender, inadequate housing and inadequate education.
Page 1: Define the population’s vulnerability and describe why they are considered “special” and/or “vulnerable” in society; identify their challenges; examine their risks; and specify their needs.
Page 2: Investigate the services that are currently available to address the needs of the population and examine how these services are delivered: what is the role of the social worker and what are some of the existing agencies?
Page 3: What kinds of services do you identify as the most helpful; what services are lacking; and how would you, if you were a social worker, design services/treatment and add to the existing services in order to improve the well being of the population.
