Resumo(s)
This article seeks to understand the needs and difficulties of intervention with older people
during the first state of emergency in Portugal due to COVID-19. The results show that these
professionals faced challenges they never experienced before and necessitated support to carry
out their work in an emergency. The difficulties resulted, not only from the chronic
vulnerabilities stemming from the disinvestment of public policies in recent years but also from
the uncertainty that the pandemic brought to social interventions. Despite all this, social
workers have demonstrated their ability to protect themselves and older people and their
families, thus leading to overcoming some of these challenges.
