Social Work
Clinical Social Workers from the Clinical Services and Care Coordination Department assist with the care of children with complex psychosocial needs in our inpatient, outpatient and community settings. Hospital social workers are licensed clinicians who have special education and training to recognize the impact of illness or injury on children and families, assist patients and families in adjusting to illness and hospitalization, and help families overcome barriers to maintaining optimal health for their children. Social workers serve as a resource for other health care professionals regarding the psychosocial strengths and needs of the patient and family and community resources that may be available to them.
Social workers support and counsel families confronted with social and financial difficulties, intervene in crisis situations, provide information about community resources, assess children in need of child protective and behavioral health services and serve as a link between the family, the hospital and community agencies.
Social workers assist with discharge planning and, in some programs, provide on-going care coordination and support for children with complex needs.
