Community workers are engaged for much of their time with groups – with groups of residents in the neighbourhood, as participants in discussions with service agencies and departments, or as members of staff groups in the community work project or area team. This chapter reviews some theories of group behaviour that community workers may find helpful in understanding the groups in which they work. It is divided into three parts, dealing with small group, intergroup and large group behaviour.

ABSTRACT The universal experience of COVID-19 and its associated public health response presents an opportunity to see inequities that exist within our population when accessing community services and supports. In this article, we cast a spotlight on one group who is at risk for experiencing such inequity: women with problematic substance use who are pregnant or parenting. Motherhood offers an opportunity for development of the self, child and family and can be pivotal in helping women to address challenges they and their family may be experiencing. This is a shared opportunity and requires communities to see these families in their complexity of strengths and needs and to support them on this journey. The pandemic has uncovered inequities in our systems of care and barriers faced by families. As the pandemic situation improves, citizens and communities must resist the temptation to push aside the evidence of social disparity and challenge and engage in social action and change. This may help us to develop policies, services, and attitudes that promote well-being in equitable, accessible, and empowering ways to support rather than hinder mothers, children, and families as they work to realize their life goals.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 has affected the lives of entire populations across the globe. Different sections of the society have been impacted, some more than others. In the context of India, which has a sizeable number of people living in adversity, the impact of COVID-19 has been more pronounced in the sub-section of ‘migrant workers’. Due to the imposed lockdowns to contain the spread of the coronavirus, these workers have lost their jobs and the insecurity has led them to return to their home villages in arduous conditions. Their plight is showcased here which also exposes the role of the government which has been largely indifferent and reactionary at best. The article is based on secondary research and offers certain takeaways about how emergency situations need to be handled differently to ensure no particular section is neglected.
