TECHNOLOGIES FOR ORGANIZING PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE POPULATION IN TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

Introduction. The article examines modern technologies for organizing psychosocial support for the population in territorial communities under conditions of social transformations and increasing psycho-emotional stress. The relevance of developing effective approaches to providing psychosocial assistance as a component of the social protection system is substantiated, particularly in the context of crisis situations, including wartime challenges and internal displacement. The theoretical and methodological foundations of psychosocial support are analyzed, and its essence, principles, and functions at the level of the territorial community are defined. Key technologies for organizing psychosocial support are outlined, including intervention, interagency cooperation, mobile teams of social and psychological assistance, group and individual forms of work, as well as digital tools for service provision. Particular attention is paid to the role of multidisciplinary teams in ensuring a comprehensive approach to addressing the problems of service recipients. The peculiarities of implementing psychosocial technologies in the practice of community social services are determined, taking into account resource capacities, human resources potential, and the needs of different population groups. The importance of developing partnerships between governmental, non-governmental, and international organizations to improve the quality and accessibility of services is emphasized. It is generalized that the effective organization of psychosocial support in territorial communities contributes to increasing social cohesion, psychological resilience of the population, and the restoration of social well-being. The results of the study can be used in the practical activities of social work professionals, as well as in the development of local social support programs. In the context of contemporary social challenges, including wartime events, internal displacement, and increased levels of psychoemotional stress, the issue of organizing effective psychosocial support in territorial communities is becoming particularly relevant.
