Abstract

This study focuses on the social support network for people living in poverty. They suffer from not only economic poverty but multiple social exclusions and lack of human relations, thus intervention of the social support network with inter-professional members is necessary. This study describes the grim situations of single mothers suffering from mental illnesses. Through a case study, it was found that these mothers were surviving on meager resources with uncertain futures and many did not receive any public assistance even though they were unemployed. Results demonstrate that there are two types of segregations through the support process for people living in poverty. One is the segregation by time and the other is by professional fields. To avoid such segregations, a coordinate function should be authorized to community social workers.
