"Clinical Social Worker"

The Inpatient Psychiatry Social Services Team at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center is part of a broader interdisciplinary treatment team that provides care to adults experiencing acute mental health crises. The Clinical Social Worker (CSW) completes assessments using the psychosocial model and provides services such as case management, facilitating family meetings and case conferences, providing psychoeducation, and facilitating clinical groups and 1:1 intervention. The CSW collaborates closely with rest of the treatment team, patients, and collaterals to formulate and implement treatment and aftercare plans, and completes all required documentation within the designated timeframes.

The CSW works hand-in-hand with all team members to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care with cultural humility in mind at all times. In addition to completing assessments and interventions, the CSW is responsible for implementing discharge plans that meet patients' psychosocial needs; the CSW acts as a liaison between the patient, the treatment team, natural supports, and community providers regarding the discharge plan. Each CSW provides both clinical and discharge social work services for their own caseload. The listed position may also provide support across treatment teams and psychiatry units when there are coverage gaps within the Social Work team, during periods of increased workload, or when there are other exceptional requests regarding patient care needs on 7L or in PES.

The Department of Psychiatry Social Services Team embraces the Recovery Model of mental healthcare while engaging patients with Motivational Interviewing and other evidence-based practices. Our patients also benefit from trauma-informed care, along with a strong therapeutic program for those with co-occurring disorders.
