Practice Based Social Work Posted or Updated on 3 Oct 2023

The Community Support Social Work Team have now joined the multi-disciplinary team within Willow Medical Practice. Your social wellbeing affects how you feel about yourself, how well you function and the overall quality of your life. Issues which affect your social wellbeing may have a significant impact on your physical or mental health. Our Community Support Social Work Team can discuss any problems you may have and explore what is important to you. They will provide you with practical advice, help and support in order to address these problems.

Our Community Support Social Work Team can support you on a number of issues, including but limited to:

• Housing difficulties

• Behaviour Management/Autism/ADHD

• Bereavement

• Alcohol/drug issues

• Learning Difficulties 

• Isolation or loneliness

• Carer support

• Self-Harm

• Mental Health (community support)

Where the social worker feels you may benefit from other services, they may work with other people or groups in your local community that can support your needs.
