Clinical Social Worker careers

A Clinical Social Worker provides mental health services to individuals, families, and groups. You might work in hospitals, community health centres, or private practice. Clinical Social Workers assess clients' needs, develop treatment plans, and offer counselling and therapy to help clients cope with life challenges, mental health issues, and emotional difficulties.

Clinical Social Workers play a vital role in improving clients' well-being. You’ll need to be empathetic, resourceful, and able to build strong relationships with clients. You’ll collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure clients receive comprehensive care and support. You’ll also need to maintain accurate records and stay informed about the latest practices in mental health care.
