A Study on Psychiatric Social Worker and Child Guidance Clinic

Abstract

This study delves into the role of psychiatric social workers in treating children facing social, mental, and environmental challenges, commonly addressed in child guidance. These professionals are trained to address a diverse array of issues stemming from children's various backgrounds. The study explores the expansive scope of responsibilities within child guidance, spanning mental hospitals and local health sectors. In India, numerous child guidance clinics cater to children's mental health needs, where psychiatric social workers engage in both theoretical and clinical practices. This research-based paper investigates the problem-solving approaches of psychiatric social workers in hospital settings concerning children's behavioral and mental health issues, which often pose challenges for parents, families, and society
