Summary/Abstract: The issue 2/2024 invited social work academics, practitioners, researchers, and students to submit articles about social work in uncertain times, such as social work in the current context meaning before and during the pandemic, during the war in Ukraine, and after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, events which directly or indirectly impacted the profession. Given the number of people affected and losses suffered not only in economy, long-lasting effects in societies are also foreseen. These events, along with new ones (like the Israel – Hamas war), highlighted once again that, to respond and find sustainable solutions for social problems during extraordinary collective events, social workers are in the front line.To our invitation authors responded with articles covering a varied range of topics, covering social protection for many categories, such as families with children, youth, cancer patients, the homeless, and the elderly, as well as the social work practice. The current number contains nine articles and one book review. Most of the articles delve into Romanian context, but the use of the English language has broadened access to knowledge and understanding for any reader interested in the discussed issues.
