ES EL MOMENTO DEL TRABAJO GRUPAL

El clima está cambiando. En muchas partes del mundo está disminuyendo el respeto por las personas que son diferentes. Las comunidades se están fracturando. El diálogo se reemplaza demasiado a menudo por bombas, odio y tratamientos denigrantes. El populismo del odio acribilla al entendimiento respetuoso. 

No es difícil ver por qué tanta gente se siente alienada, poco respetada y sin ningún poder: la desigualdad creciente, la inestabilidad laboral y el sentimiento de que no se tiene ninguna influencia en las decisiones importantes ayudan a que esto suceda.

Necesitamos encontrar formas para volvernos inclusivos, para celebrar las diferencias y generar un sentido de unidad potente. No ha habido un momento en la historia donde sea tan urgente unir a las comunidades hacia el sentimiento mutuo y el respeto, no solo a la humanidad, sino al planeta en su conjunto.

El trabajo grupal puede crear seguridad donde hay incertidumbre y sentimiento de pertenencia donde hay alienación. Se ha utilizado para unir y dar voz a personas en situaciones que parecían irreparables. Como trabajadoras sociales debemos ponernos firmes y luchar por crear espacios de diálogo respetuoso, expandir nuestras formas de ver el mundo y la comunidad.

Llegó la hora del trabajo social grupal.
