<br/><br/> This article first aims to identify the tensions experienced by social workers confronted with imposed health measures, with initially poor institutions, and with people in great suffering “forgotten” by the authorities. Once these tensions have been identified, it will be useful to try to understand how aid and care professionals have been able to organize and adapt to this new reality.Social work practices have thus been able to be “reinvented”: today the importance of “going towards”, the need to take into account the situation of the person or of the group as a whole, to refocus action professionals towards their core business and letting them take initiatives appear to be obvious to the authors of the report of the High Council of Social Work which deals with the impact of the health crisis on the organizations and professional practices of social workersWhile these points are shared, it is far from certain that they will all be implemented in the future. Indeed, if after the first confinement in March and April 2020, many were talking about the world after necessarily different, many today rather wish to return to the world before. This raises the question of knowing what social work will be in the future.
