Abstract

Emergency-aid programmes are a tool used in social work to attend to people of insufficient financial means. As a result of increasing rates of poverty, they are frequently called upon. However, rather than such programmes being considered a remnant of the welfare-based approach, the need for this type of aid is appreciated. Moreover, it is thought that they must be given meaning in order for them to be incorporated in a regular way into accompaniments for integration programmes as a result of the current period of chronic problems and difficulties in achieving personal autonomy. In spite of the fact that emergency-aid programmes are a form of palliative care and are not designed to empower people, the social work community should be able to chart a path through these difficult circumstances in order to find this meaning.
