What the social workers on this page do, and how to choose one
The social workers listed in Toronto for addiction work with the person and their situation. That can mean regular sessions, help with services, or work with the family 1.
Where an assessment, a diagnosis or medicine is needed, ask who provides it where you are. Open the profiles below to compare experience, language, fee, and whether they work online. Ask how soon each one can see you.
What social work covers, from counselling to housing and income
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title social worker. Social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline 2. It promotes social change, cohesion and the empowerment of people.
The training emphasises the systems around a person. Housing, income, schooling, child protection and family conflict are part of it.
In mental health that often means talking work alongside practical support. Ask a practitioner what parts of your situation they would work on.
