At Cincinnati Children’s, our clinical social workers understand that managing any type of illness or hospitalization is a stressful experience. As members on every medical team, the clinical social workers provide ongoing support and counseling, crisis intervention, advocacy, education, and connection to community resources.

The clinical social workers are all licensed professionals who provide specialized expertise on the medical teams. We are guided by our core values which include promotion of self‑determination, dignity and respect for all beliefs and cultures, and supporting the strengths of patients and families in their pursuit of health and wellbeing. There are over 150 clinical social workers within the Social Service Division at Cincinnati Children’s serving patients and families through their inpatient hospitalization(s) and providing ongoing services in the outpatient settings.

Families and caregivers with children that are coping with a medical and/or psychiatric condition can experience difficulties and hardships that impact their emotional, social, and financial well‑being. Families and caregivers may also find challenges as they navigate through the complex medical system. Our clinical social workers provide comprehensive services to assist patients & families through their journey. The clinical social worker can assist with emotional support and counseling, family issues/conflicts, safety concerns, discharge coordination, and access to community resources.

These are just some of the things we can do for our patients and families.
