Abstract: Because of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic, people have to face unprecedented uncertainty.It has become the professional responsibility of social work to assist people in coping with setbacks, turning crisis into opportunity and finding hope in the times of uncertainty.In this regard, existentialism provides a theoretical resource of great enlightening significance.In contrast to traditional perceptions, existentialism not only provides a modern view of the human being that is consistent with social work ethics, but also prompts social workers to consciously realize their positions and responsibilities in their helping relationships.Therefore, using existentialism, social work can not only learn from the aid framework and process that has been generalized, but also explore how to deepen professional relations, achieve professional mission, and accomplish professional responsibility.

Key words: Existentialism, social work, helping relationship, psychotherapy, responsibility
