Social Work

Clinical social work services at CPTWC supports the social, emotional, and mental well-being of both the children, and their families. By utilizing a client-centered, and relationship-based approach, our clinical social workers strive to foster emotional safety, and functional emotional development. Through a holistic lens, clinical social work will help families identify stressors to best understand where behaviors stem from and meet them where they’re at.

This can address areas such as: challenging family dynamics, social skills, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, behavioral concerns, major life changes/transitions, trauma, poor self-esteem, and challenges within the school environment. Social work will offer individual sessions, family sessions, group therapy, parent consultations and advocacy, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, and school staff. Our social workers will implement a variety of evidence-based practices which are rooted in a rich understanding of children in the context of their families, communities, and cultural identities. Examples of evidence-based practices include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, play-based therapy, art-based interventions, safety planning, and crisis intervention.
