Mental Health Social Work

Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) work with people across the lifespan - including children, adults and older persons - and provide a unique contribution to the mental health space in their holistic approach to working with a person.

The advanced training of a AMHSW prepares and provides them with the skills for working with people with very complex presentations and co-morbidities, including:

• Depression and other mood disorders

• Anxiety disorders

• Personality disorders

• Psychosis

• Suicidal thoughts

• Relationship problems

• Life crisis

• Adjustment issues

• Trauma

• Family

This may involve family, as well as individual counselling, and group therapy. Social workers recognise the broader implications of an individual having a mental illness and the impact on friends, family, work and education.
