Mental Health Social Worker

Mental health social workers support people who are experiencing mental health issues, helping them to live as independently as possible. They work with individuals, families, and communities to assess needs, arrange support, and protect vulnerable people. The role often involves working closely with other professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and psychologists, to create care plans and ensure the right support is in place. Mental health social workers may also be involved in safeguarding, crisis intervention, and advocacy, ensuring that the rights and wishes of their clients are respected. The job can be challenging but is also highly rewarding, as you help people improve their quality of life and wellbeing.
