Social Work with Migrants Diakonie Hamburg’s Counseling Center for Eastern European Persons

Summary/Abstract: Reflecting on the experience of the social work practice as highlighted by the present analysis starts from recognizing the role complexity of the social worker who’s working with migrants, which means expressing the capacity of performing different, but complementary, professional roles, equally important, depending on the case specificity. As we will explain in the section referring to the work of the social worker within Diakonie Hamburg’s Counseling Center for Eastern European persons, the work performed by the social worker includes not only a professional competence dimension (knowledge, methods and values), but also a symbolic dimension, equally important if we refer to the mission of the social work with migrants.
