Abstract: The presented article analyses issues of social work with groups related to the concept of “two clients”, the interrelationship between them and the functional-role orientation of the activity of the social worker as a group leader in a specific professional context. The research focus is on building the group as a whole, the formation of a sense of community and mutual identification, the realization of constructive and positively oriented interactions between the members of the group, between them and the group leader and the presentation of the main tasks of a social worker in an activity aspect to create conditions and environment for the functioning and development of the group as a system of mutual support and assistance. Emphasis is placed on the opportunity for group members to make the most of the resources of the created social and supportive microenvironment, promoting the achievement of individual and group goals and individual and group growth and development. The analysis of ideas, concepts and models of researchers in the field of social work with groups and the position of the author allow highlighting the importance of certain components that create conditions for the functioning of the group as a system of mutual support and assistance.
