Finansal Sosyal Hizmet: Türkiye İçin Yeni Bir Sosyal Hizmet Alanı

Kırılganlaşan para piyasaları, ekonomik krizler ve bununla birlikte ortaya çıkan sosyal refah devletlerinin kemer sıkma politikaları, finansal açıdan dezavantajlı grupların yeni çözümlere yönelmesini gerektirmektedir. Geleneksel sosyal hizmet uygulamaları ise bu ihtiyacı karşılamada yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bütüncül ve sürdürülebilir bir bakış açısına sahip olan finansal sosyal hizmet uygulamaları ise giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde ortaya çıkan bu sosyal hizmet müdahalesi kırılgan bireylerin, grupların ve toplulukların finansal olarak güçlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı göreceli olarak yeni ortaya çıkan ve kendini diğer benzer uygulamalardan ayıran bu sosyal hizmet müdahalesi türünü açıklamak ve Türkiye’deki sosyal hizmetler sistemi ve politikalar kapsamında tartışmaktır.
