Abstract: Families who have lost their only child face multiple challenges due to the unexpected death of their sole offspring, requiring assistance and professional services from the government, communities, and social work agencies. This article examines the Golden Sunshine Social Work Service Project in X District of Shanghai as a case study. Guided by Demand Spillover Theory and oriented toward the specific needs of these bereaved families, the project constructs a layered social support system to alleviate familial and elderly care challenges, thereby effectively addressing the overflow of unmet needs in these households. Through analysis and reflection on the project’s service model, this study provides valuable insights for understanding, supporting, and serving urban families who have lost their only child, assists social work agencies in refining their service approaches, and explores innovative service models designed to assist these families.

Key words: bereaved only-child families, demand-oriented approach, government-purchased services
