Emergency Response Social Work
Emergency Response Social Work
Social Workers in Emergency Response arenas (i.e. fire departments, police departments, emergency relief, emergency rooms, etc.) are a critical intervention point for patients with multiple unmet medical, psychological, and social needs. They assist clients in understanding their rights and navigating systems and work on interdisciplinary teams to bring a client-centered approach. From advocacy and crisis interventions to assessment and case management, emergency response social work is a growing area of the profession. Join this event to network with Alumni working in various areas within this field.
