Duties and Responsibilities

Screening / Assessment:

The social worker will develop a psychosocial assessment of the veteran, in collaboration with the interdisciplinary treatment team, the veteran, family members and significant others (when available).

The goal of the assessment is to determine the veteran's strengths, limitations, and internal/external supports.

This assessment will include a special focus on substance use disorders and as well as common psychiatric comorbidities followed by the formulation of a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all of the veteran's identified needs.

The social worker will be able to diagnose using the DSM 5 for each veteran assessed.

Treatment Planning /Goal Setting:

The social worker may be responsible for developing the treatment plan, and setting achievable treatment goals with the veteran.

The social worker will include dangerousness/risk, psychiatric, substance use, and psychosocial problems onto the interdisciplinary treatment plan. This social worker will review this treatment plan with the veteran and the members of the interdisciplinary team. Ongoing assessment and updating treatment plans are done according to program policy.

Referral to Service Providers:

The social worker will help the veteran access services that are pertinent to his or her individual psychotherapy treatment goals.

The social worker will collaborate with other service providers in reassessing the veteran's needs for inpatient, outpatient, residential, or community based programs.


Resource Development:

The social worker is responsible for maintaining a resource file of VA and community social service programs and will refer the resident to needed services, as needed.


Advocacy:

The social worker will act as an advocate to assist veterans in a variety of contexts when it serves the best interest of the residents.

When appropriate and feasible, the social worker will educate and encourage the residents to advocate on their own behalf, thus fostering a sense of independence and empowerment.


Crisis Intervention:

The social worker is experienced in making risk assessments, developing individualized crisis management plans in order to maintain the veteran's physical and mental health.

The social worker will understand the protocol for addressing risk within CIRCA. The social worker will work to deescalate a situation before a crisis occurs. The social worker will also be responsible for maintaining Basic Life Support (First Aid and CPR) at all times.

Education/Health promotion and prevention:

The social worker will provide education related to VA and community resources, entitlements, Advanced Directives/Living Will, and will refer veterans to the appropriate treatment provider for any identified concerns outside of the rudimental program.


Coordination of non-institutional and institutional services:

The social worker is responsible for reviewing the progress notes from the other providers to accurately determine the strengths and limitations of each veteran.

The social worker will be responsible for referrals to inpatient care if the veteran is in need of a higher level of care.


Individual & Group Psychotherapy:

The social worker will provide the veterans with evidence based treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health diagnosis.

The individual social worker will be able to diagnose, assess strengths and weakness, deliver appropriate treatment, and adapt to the veteran's changing level of treatment.


Administrative Responsibilities:

The social worker will enter all veteran contacts in the electronic record using appropriate formats and templates, and within established medical center guidelines for timeliness.

This information will be entered in a complete, confidential, and professional manner. The social worker will participate in patient community meetings to obtain feedback from residents.
