Social workers provide therapeutic intervention to assist patients and their families with the personal, social and emotional issues that arise due to illness or changing health including:
- Emotional Stress and Issues of Carer Stress
When you are stressed trying to manage sickness or disability; either your own or those of someone close to you.
- Relationship Issues
When relationships become stressed due to the emotional and social impact of changing health.
- Complex Problem Solving
When you are sick and need assistance with practical matters
- Safety
We are professionally trained to assess each situation and make plans for your safety or the safety of a family member.
Cultural Support
Our social work service can request cultural support services or independent interpreting services to assist as needed.
If you, or your friend/relative, are an inpatient please ask your nurse or doctor to refer to our service.
We are also happy to accept self referrals.
There is no charge for our service.
We are based at North Shore Hospital on the Lower Ground Floor and at Waitakere Hospital.
