“…Therefore, social workers should develop social inclusion interventions that acknowledge the two-way process of forging new connections, one that requires a deep personal reflective thought on family, privilege, and discrimination, along with recognizing the diverse structural barriers toward achieving inclusion, in particular among immigrant and minoritized clients. Such practices can create evidence for the study of family inclusion, for instance, in Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) contexts (Peterson & Gricus, 2022).…”

Although social exclusion and inclusion are pivotal to the discipline of social work, there is not much theoretical clarity about what it actually means and its consequences. Despite recent research, current definitions are problematic. For example, exclusion is used as a deficit view and is sometimes a synonym for poverty, marginalization, unemployment, isolation, or solitude. In addition, research often ignores inclusion as a counterpart term and strength-based perspective. The purpose of this article is to fill this gap by arguing that a shift is needed from focusing on exclusion toward understanding paths of inclusion among marginalized families and that social inclusion is better conceptualized as a spectrum (not a dichotomy) and a developmental phenomenon (vs. a predetermined one). This article ends with implications for researchers and practitioners focused on immigrant/minoritized families.

Introduction. Resilience refers to the ability of individuals, groups or communities to adapt and recover in the face of adverse or stressful situations, such as violence, poverty, natural disasters or disease. Aim. The present research aims to analyse the impact of social work intervention in strengthening resilience in vulnerable groups served by the Faculty of Humanistic and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Manabí during the 2023-A academic period, to identify the pedagogical intervention of social work in vulnerable groups, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention strategies implemented by social work professionals. Methodology and research methods. The quantitative paradigm was applied. The design corresponds to a non-experimental study. The population was 259 students of Social Work. The sample consisted of 70 students belonging to vulnerable groups. A questionnaire with 15 items was applied. Multiple regression analysis and ANOVA analysis were carried out. Results. Among the results, the pedagogical intervention strategies applied by the social work professionals were effective. There is a positive impact on strengthening resilience in vulnerable groups, as well as on socio-economic and cultural factors. Social work pedagogical intervention strategies as well as socio-economic and cultural factors are important in strengthening resilience in vulnerable groups. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of this study is that building resilience through inclusion stands out as a pedagogical component in social work and as a pillar that strengthens social work. Practical significance. It is important to take socio-economic and cultural factors into account when designing and implementing these pedagogical strategies, as they can influence their effectiveness. It is also important to continue research on the factors that influence the development of resilience in vulnerable groups in order to design and implement more effective and sustainable educational intervention strategies.
