Duties

The referral into the HUD-VASH Program has multiple steps to ensure appropriateness for the program and quality care.

The Senior Social Worker analyzes the results of the C-SSRS and, if necessary, works with the Veteran to identify a plan to manage suicide risk in various settings. he Senior Social Worker provides consultation to other treatment team and staff members regarding psychosocial needs of Veterans and/or their families and the impact of the identified psychosocial problems on the Veteran's healthcare planning, compliance with treatment, and discharge planning. The Senior Social Worker's clinical duties are the provision of intensive case management and psychotherapy to Veterans with complex medical and psychological presentations. The Senior Social Worker provides individual, group and/or family psychotherapy when clinically indicated/appropriate and when of therapeutic benefit to the recipients.
