This article analyzes the problem of interdisciplinary interaction in the process of providing social services during martial law in Ukraine. It emphasizes the importance and relevance of social services for vulnerable groups of the population in war conditions, as well as the need to introduce new approaches in the professional activities of social workers. Particular attention is paid to interdisciplinary cooperation and teamwork, which are key to providing integrated social services to population groups in crisis situations. The theoretical foundations of the category of "vulnerable population groups" are studied. In this regard, there is currently a need for interdisciplinary interaction to provide integrated social services to individuals and families who find themselves in difficult life circumstances. An analysis of the components and content of the activities of an interdisciplinary team has been conducted. The key qualities and competencies that social workers must have for effective professional interaction in martial law conditions have been outlined. Among them, crisis counseling skills, civic competence, national identity, and participation in volunteer activities are highlighted. An interdisciplinary model of case management in the context of martial law is presented, in particular, the specifics of a multidisciplinary approach to the organization of social services are identified. It is emphasized that the success of interdisciplinary interaction in the provision of social services for vulnerable groups of the population depends on adherence to a number of principles that should be taken into account when forming the work of an interdisciplinary team. It was concluded that successful interdisciplinary team collaboration is impossible without sharing information about a specific case and working together throughout the entire case management process. This includes consistent and phased provision of services, as well as effective use of shared resources.
