Social Work in Mental Health

Social work in mental health involves supporting individuals experiencing emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges. Social workers assess clients’ needs, provide counseling, and connect them with resources like therapy, housing, or employment assistance. They advocate for patients’ rights, promote well-being, and help navigate the healthcare and social service systems. The goal is to empower individuals to manage their mental health, improve their overall quality of life, and build resilience within their communities. Social workers often collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive, person-centered care.
