Social Work Services

Social Workers are professionally trained to support children, youth and families to cope with the impact of illness, disability and complex health needs.  This may include adjusting to a diagnosis or navigating a new set of challenges. 

Social Workers care for the social, emotional and service needs of children, youth, caregivers and their families, while respecting the need for client and family confidentiality.

Eligibility for a referral to Social Work Services varies by service/service stream. Please speak to your clinician for more information.

Social Work services at ErinoakKids are provided by social workers who have a Masters of Social Work degree, and are registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
