“…Considering the nature of AFNs, they can be of particular relevance for those social services more directly connected to the community. In the Spanish case, these services correspond to the so-called 'general community social services', which are the primary care level, as opposed to the specialised services level-the secondary care level (Pastor Seller, 2017). These community social services are managed locally and organised geographically in social service centres.…”

“…Moreover, there is an increasing interest in AFNs related to local public policies in areas such as land management, innovation and social services. The empirical exploration will establish the implications for general community social services-the basic social services level in Spain (Pastor Seller, 2017).…”

Grassroots social innovations are citizen-led initiatives that develop bottom-up solutions to societal challenges. Alternative food networks (AFNs) are innovations which propose alternative schemes for distribution and consumption of food—such as community-based agriculture or food cooperatives—which can improve the well-being of participants. Its potential for social work and social services has been recognised, but remains underexplored. This paper proposes a theoretical framework based on the capability approach in order to explore the impacts, drivers and factors at play in the expansion of well-being in participants in AFNs. This framework is applied to address seven cases of different kind of AFNs in Valencia (Spain) and to explore implications and strands of action so community social services can make use of AFNs. The study draws on information from thirteen interviews with participants of AFNs, local experts and policymakers; from secondary sources and from participant observation. It deductively uses the categories in the framework and inductively identifies specific capabilities, drivers and factors. The results show that AFNs expand well-being in several aspects of human experience. They are highly diverse, from more reformist to more radical, so they can mobilise different publics. Social services can benefit from this impact and diversity.

“…Sin duda, este contexto adverso ha afectado de manera esencial al propio desempeño profesional, pero también a las dimensiones de burnout anteriormente descritas y a la propia calidad del servicio prestado y percibido. Por tanto, y considerando las relaciones del contexto con el burnout, se evidencia la necesidad de un trabajo social reconceptualizado y de enfoque ciudadano (Pastor, 2017 que se vincule con el compromiso político. Los presentes resultados ponen de manifiesto el grado de insatisfacción entre los trabajadores sociales de España, y hace un llamamiento a otros investigadores a analizar los factores de protección que podrían amortiguar la aparición y los efectos negativos del burnout.…”

“…Las familias se encuentran en el centro de las interacciones intergeneracionales y están siendo un actor de apoyo social en esta crisis, pero es necesario cuidar a las familias, especialmente más vulnerables. Los vertiginosos cambios y tendencias familiares anali-zadas evidencian, en sintonía con otros estudios sobre la materia (López y Castillo, 2020), la necesidad de un diseño dinámico y sostenible de las políticas e intervenciones sociales (López y Segado, 2013;Pastor, 2017) de apoyo a las familias en España en sintonía con ellos.

Families generate social capital for society, playing an essential economic, social and political role for social cohesion and sustainability. The emergence of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has profoundly altered family realities and care strategies. The pandemic has highlighted the weaknesses of social protection policies in general and those aimed at families in particular. The article analyzes the changes in family structure and behavior, the social exclusion of households and the protection policies and programs aimed at families with greater social difficulties that are developed by the different public administrations in Spain. The research methodology is based on the systematization and analysis of statistical sources, updated studies and research, and the content analysis of the policies, plans and measures that are developed from the different levels of public administration, especially in the social services system. The research results confirm that social policies for the protection and support of families are scarce, insufficient in coverage and amount, fragmented and unequal in the territories. It is necessary to increase the extension of coverage and the quality of services and social benefits to improve the quality and living conditions of families, especially in times of pandemic peñando un papel económico, social y político imprescindible para la cohesión y sostenibilidad social. La irrupción del coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 ha alterado profundamente las realidades familiares y las estrategias de cuidado. La pandemia ha evidenciado las debilidades de las políticas de protección social en general y las destinadas a las familias en particular. El artículo analiza los cambios en la estructura y comportamientos familiares, la exclusión social de los hogares y las políticas y programas de protección destinadas a las familias con mayores dificultades sociales que se desarrollan desde las diferentes administraciones públicas en España. La metodología de investigación se basa en la sistematización y análisis de fuentes estadísticas, estudios e investigaciones actualizadas y el análisis de contenido de las políticas, planes y medidas que se desarrollan desde los distintos niveles de administración pública, especialmente en el sistema de servicios sociales. Los resultados de la investigación constatan que las políticas sociales de protección y apoyo a las familias son escasas, insuficientes en cobertura y cuantía, fragmentadas y desiguales en los territorios. Es necesario incrementar la extensión de cobertura y la calidad de servicios y prestaciones sociales para mejorar la calidad y condiciones de vida de las familias, especialmente en tiempos de pandemia.
