This research project is an attempt to improve the well-being of social workers from the perspective of social innovation. The whole project has gone through 12 weeks. Design thinking has been applied to the design process, a variety of design methods and tools have been tried to use each problem research and idea production process. From the initial search for the reasons behind social work phenomena to the specific stakeholder interviews to gain insights, and then to try to design from the perspective of design innovation can act on the actual minimum value output, and finally to improve the well-being of social workers.
