Living With Illness
How do social workers help with your health? We're a part of many health care teams, working closely with doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. And we become your advocates, your cheerleaders, and your friends. Our help starts when you're diagnosed and continues through your recovery.
Many times you'll find us working in hospitals where we counsel patients and their families about their illness and treatment options. We listen too, in support groups and community health centers, helping you understand all the emotions you feel and the decisions you need to make. You'll never go it alone. Because your well-being is our main goal.
