Abstract:<br />
<br />
The existence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people is becoming<br />
more and more visible in Vietnam. A number of recent research studies have found that<br />
LGBT people are in great need of support services from social work. However, in reality,<br />
there are very few services avaible for LGBT users, and there are only few of them<br />
accessing to those services as well. This article will analyse the international experience<br />
of social work with LGBT people in nations where social work most developed, focusing<br />
mainly on the experience of the U.S. and Ireland. Based on these international<br />
experiences, the author offers a number of suggestions and recommendations to<br />
promote the model of social work with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in<br />
Vietnam in the current context.<br />
