Social Work

A Network of Support

Creating the best environments for healing can take an extra helping hand or clinical intervention. Our Social Work services can connect you with counseling, caretaking support, planning and more.

Services

Our dedicated staff of licensed social workers is here to assist as needed. Based on the assessed needs of children and families, social workers may intervene using a few clinical strategies, including:

Assessment
Crisis intervention
Resource counseling and referral to community-based services
Grief and bereavement counseling
Case management
Discharge planning
Child protection assessment and referral/safety and risk assessment
Advocacy (individual and systemic to influence policy/programs)
Transitional planning and coordination of adult patients with pediatric conditions

Our staff is familiar with community resources throughout our geographic area and works to link families with helpful services following discharge from the hospital. Social Work services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure that urgent and emergent psychosocial assistance is available to patients, families and the healthcare team.
