Introduction: At the final stage of administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine, it is important to realistically assess the social needs and social problems that exist in newly created territorial communities. Territorial communities should be based on healthy families and healthy individuals, whose initiative will help ensure the continued social development of the community. In its turn, the community should be built on the principles of friendly to its own citizens, meeting their needs, first of all, the needs of the least protected categories - children, people with disabilities and chronic diseases, elderly people. Therefore, integrated social services based on the principles of preserving and promoting health are a tool for solving social problems in the community (Klos, Khudoba, Shkoliar, 2019, p. 26). Purpose. The purpose of the study is to show the importance of using integrated social services in the community based on the principles of preservation and promotion of health as an important means of promoting territorial community development and social development of the country.Methods. The study used theoretical methods of research, in particular, the search and collection of statistical information on the formation, normalization and approval of the composition of territorial communities; collection and analysis of sources on the problem of social services and social protection of the population of territorial communities; systematization of sources and their analysis by blocks of tasks; analysis, comparison, synthesis and implementation of the results of the study of social services based on the principles of promoting and preserving community health.Results. Within the framework of the U-LEAD Program with Europe and the ICO Partnership Every Child, the project “Community for Human: Enhancing Communities' Competence for the Development of Social Services” and understanding the peculiarities of organizing social support for vulnerable segments of the UTC population through the implementation of the social services model. Among the objectives of the project were, inter alia, to study the status of providing local communities with social workers, the range of social services provided in the community, taking into account the real needs of the population in social assistance (ICO Partnership for Every Child, 2019, p. 5-6).The study covered 245 projected territorial communities in Ukraine. Because most communities did not have the information to make appropriate decisions about the services they needed, a special methodology was used to assess the needs of the population in social services. An appropriate tool for monitoring the needs of the population in social services was developed and tested at the Oxford Policy Management Consortium with the participation of the Every Child Partnership, in collaboration with UNICEF, and with financial support from the European Union. The aggregate index of providing the population with social services of the population of the UTC is determined by the set of indicators: the index of provision of social services for children and families with children; index of provision of social care services for orphans and children deprived of family care; the index of provision of social services for the elderly; index of provision of social services for persons with disabilities; index of provision of social services to persons in need of adaptation and integration (reintegration); index of provision of social services to persons in need of emergency or crisis intervention (ICO Partnership for Every Child, 2019, p. 28).Mostly communities use the resource of available social services already at their disposal, their range is limited and needs improvement and review, taking into account real social problems and needs of consumers. An important tool for addressing the issues that are relevant to UTC members is those based on the principles of preserving and promoting health. In particular, social prevention, community representation services, crisis and emergency intervention, social support / patronage, asylum, home care, day care, supported living.Conclusion: The study of the results of the mentioned project and the current state of providing territorial communities with social services lead to the conclusion that there is a high level of community needs for social work professionals who are able and able to provide integrated social services in the community on the grounds of preservation and promotion of health. To do this, professional training of skilled social workers for the provision of integrated social services in the community should be stepped up

The Social

The need for R&D of social workers was due to the development of theoretical and methodological approaches and concepts of social work, the application of which involved the use of specific research tools. It is substantiated that the research subsystem of social work can be represented in the form of a model of the research environment, which reflects the relationship of three components: the social problem, methods of its research and tools for solving. The dialectical nature of social work, as well as the dynamic conditions in which it is carried out, determine a set of socio-economic, managerial and pedagogical factors that actualize the need for research in the social field. It is substantiated that R&D today is an integral element of professional social practice and is implemented both in the process of working with different categories of clients and in administrative and managerial activities. R&D provides adequate social order development of targeted comprehensive programs, projects and technologies of social protection, design and implementation of models of social institutions and services. As a result of a comprehensive study of the problem, the essential characteristics of R&D were clarified, which means the activity of obtaining new scientifically based knowledge aimed at purposeful change of social reality, which is realized in a logical sequence through the use of appropriate forms and methods of scientific knowledge. It is proved that R&D in the system of social work is realized at three levels (reflexive-theoretical, experimental-theoretical and research), each of which involves step-by-step actions (problem definition; hypothesis formulation, choice of research methods and tools; implementation of research plan; evaluation of results) and the use of appropriate research methods.

The training of a future specialist involves not only the acquisition of professionally oriented knowledge, skills and habits, but also the formation of a system of professional values as regulators of future professional activities, the basis for professional growth and improvement. The social and political condition of society in general and the country in particular affects the formation of professional values of future specialists, which, in particular, is manifested in the conditions of modern Ukraine, which fights for state independence and territorial integrity. The purpose of the study is to monitor the dynamics of changes in the professional values of future teachers over the past five years. A survey was conducted, as well as testing of future teachers according to M. Rokich's methods "Valuable orientations" (N = 710). Some products of students' activities (essays, creative works, etc.) were also of some information importance, which made it possible to diagnose the professional values and their hierarchy in the consciousness of the personality of future specialists. Changes in the dynamics of the professional values of future teachers from the prevalence of the material factor, the desire to obtain a profession that would provide the opportunity to emigrate from the country to the values of development, cognition and patriotism were revealed. The obtained results can become the basis for the search for mechanisms and tools of the formation of professional values in future teachers in the process of their professional training in social and political conditions that constantly change.

This study examined Israeli social workers' knowledge and practice concerning grandparents of children with disabilities. Eighty-one social workers providing services to families of children with disabilities responded to a 31-item questionnaire tapping demographic and professional background, knowledge of structural and functional aspects of grandparents' support, and actual practice with grandparents. The results showed that social workers recognize the significant and stable role grandparents play in the network of parents of children with disabilities. The findings also indicated that social workers believe that while parents need mostly emotional support from grandparents, they actually receive primary instrumental support, which contributes to mothers' adjustment more than it does to fathers' adjustment. As to actual practice, social workers report rarely involving grandparents in professional activities. Moreover, many social workers show no interest in obtaining more professional training in this area. The findings present a challenge to the social work profession to be more attentive to the significant family resource of grandparents in families of children with disabilities.

Тhis study was conducted to determine, outline the main characteristics of improvement of psychological-pedagogical basis of the concepts of «profile-oriented school», «profile-oriented school in foreign languages» at secondary pedagogical educational institutions and institutions of higher education. The author investigated, analyzed the leading role and conceptual impact of the profile-oriented direction of education in the training of future highly qualified professionals in the field of pedagogical education of foreign language. It was noted that profile teaching of a foreign language is a purposeful training of students for further educational and / or professional activities related to the use of a foreign language as an object of future (professional) activity or as a means of professional communication. Today, school profiling is one of the important directions of modernization of Ukrainian general education system. The author analyzed the following principles of specialized education in a specialized school of a foreign language, which, according to the author, play the greatest role: the principle of social balance; the principle of continuity and continuity; the principle of flexibility, the principle of variability; the principle of diagnostic and prognostic feasibility, the principle of differentiation; the principle of individualization. The model of profile-oriented studying in foreign language has not yet been implemented in the practice of the school in full. Teachers work to create a logistical, methodological and didactic base of the model. Work plans of circles, mini-textbooks, electronic manuals, other materials are developed. Therefore, the integration of profile – oriented studying will maximize the continuous studying of both students and teachers and achieve high performance. We understand that our observation is only part of the research program we have created for this issue. Further studies we see in the analysis of the practical-methodical system of profile-oriented studying of future teacher of foreign languages.
