It can be helpful to talk about your needs with a Social Worker, as
they may be able to find practical ways of helping you as well as
offering emotional support. Our Social Workers help patients, families
and carers with a range of social and practical issues. Our social
work team are able to help either where a patient calls home, as an
inpatient or through our Day Service. Our Social Workers can help by:
- supporting people at risk
- supporting carers
- responding to benefit enquiries and applying for grants
- dealing with housing concerns
- talking through home care and nursing home options
- providing general advice on wills
- liaising with other agencies, such as Social Services advocacy
