Community empowerment, Community social work, Community developmentAbstract
This academic article aims to present a model of empowerment in community social work as Glenn Laverack’s approach, which is comprised of nine components-these are participation, local leadership, organizational structure, assessment of problems, promotion of conscientization, resource mobilization, links with networks, support of outside partners, and self-management. These components would be used together with the model of empowerment in community social work for community development and self-reliance and would be lead to the appropriate practice for power balancing between communities and community social workers for sustainable community and social development.
