Social workers are degree-qualified allied health professionals, much like OT’s, psychologists or physiotherapists – but social workers partner with people to address personal difficulties and structural barriers in their lives. They work with individuals, families, groups and communities.
“Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) use a range of strategies to support people experiencing mental health issues. These social workers have completed advanced training and education in mental health and are recognised providers with Medicare Australia.
AMHSWs meet some of the highest standards of professional regulation in Australia.”
They use a range of strategies to support people experiencing mental health issues such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Alcohol and Drug issues
- Housing and financial issues
- Abusive relationships
- Sexuality or gender concerns
- Neurodiversity acceptance
- any other structural or personal barriers
AMHSW’s are experts in the field of mental health and assisting with psychological strategies that will improve your life and coping skills.
