Jest zarówno kluczowym wyzwaniem dla silnie sprzęgniętych z sobą w tym szczególnym obszarze polityk -społecznej i zdrowotnej, jak i jednym z najważniejszych problemów społecznych, który wymaga zrównoważonego zaangażowania państwa oraz samorządów terytorialnych. Okres, kiedy refl eksja nad zaburzeniami psychicznymi pozostawała na marginesie zainteresowania praktyków społecznych, należy w równym stopniu do historii psychiatrii, jak i socjologii, pedagogiki czy pracy socjalnej. Jedną z przyczyn tego stanu rzeczy -obok wyników badań naukowych nad procesem zdrowienia, skutecznej walki o prawa pacjentów, prób redukcji piętna społecznego (Anczewska, Wciórka 2007) oraz prób ekonomizacji problematu zdrowia i choroby -są dane epidemiologiczne (Kiejna 2012). Zgodnie z nimi jednym z immanentnych aspektów współczesnego świata dotkniętego gwałtownymi przemianami więzi społecznych jest zjawisko rosnącego występowania zapadalności na zaburzenia psychiczne. Raport Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia Zdrowie psychiczne: nowe rozumienie, nowa nadzieja z 2001 roku wskazuje, że nawet 25% populacji świata doznaje w pewnym okresie swego życia zaburzeń psychicznych i zaburzeń zachowania.

In the education of social workers, it is particularly important to seek working methods that provide to experience values which define the foundations of professional action. The authors of the article approve the personalistic philosophy as a theoretical basis of educational work, the practice of which is based on the cooperation of academic staff and students, striving for partnership, open dialogue and experiencing personal subjectivity. Nevertheless, the essence of the issue is to search for the content of education, which refers not only to contemporary social issues, but also to their historical conditions and correlates. The context for the article is a reflection on the history of 20th century eugenics, with particular emphasis on the extermination of nearly a quarter of a million people with mental illness and disabilities performed by the German Nazi. It is difficult, without studying the times in which the history derailed, to fully understand the social responsibility of people who are particularly vulnerable and exposed to social non-recognition and damage. The curriculum of social workers’ education at the Institute of Sociology of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow has included the space of the Clinical Hospital in Krakow's Kobierzyn, where, in cooperation with the Institute of Therapy and Social Education - the Association, an educational project under the name of Axiological Walk in Kobierzyn is being implemented. The article is based on reflection on axiological education in the light of evaluation of the aforementioned project.

The trauma, you cannnot escape from! Sorrow, addic on, trauma, injus ce… hope Where do the sorrow and trauma begin? Are they interrelated? What are the causes of such feelings as powerlessness, hopelessness or injustice? Could the mental pain be so big that the man isn't able to stand it? And last but not least-where the hope begin? And how? Th ese questions are the topic of this article. We try to shed light on the issue of trauma and mental (and sometimes also physical) injuries in context of social inqeualities, class and gender diff erences or social injustice and ask for the consequences. We discuss also the way of getting out of the trauma and look for the way how could man overcome the traumatic experiences and if the social work is able to help in this process?

The aim of the article is to present the issue of educational work carried out in a spirit of axiological education in the former Krakow ghetto and the former labor and concentration camp Plaszow in Kraków. The significance of the activities consists of the acquisition of knowledge about the difficult local history of the Holocaust and its heritage by confrontation with the ghetto and the former camp and relics of the past. The key area for dealing with the issues of harm, responsibility and awakening is social work, which in its axiological aspect largely focuses on reflection on the theory and practice relating to the complex issue of responsibility. These activities not only stimulate the historical awareness of totalitarianisms and the memory of them in the social and moral dimension, but also and most importantly they are a precondition for the mental health and moral development of a person, family, group, and social community.
