We can make arrangements for your family to see a social worker as needed. The social worker will support your family with counseling support and complete a Psychosocial assessment to determine your family’s needs and refer to appropriate community resources. We can also provide occasional longer term follow up with patients and families if it is needed. We can provide assistance to families with financial constraints relating to their child or youth’s illness. We can support both short term and longer term financial needs. |
