Complete care. Completely seamless.

According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), social work practice in behavioral health promotes well-being through assessments, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness, substance use and other additions. 

At Community Health Northwest Florida, Licensed Clinical Social Workers provide behavioral therapy services to children and adults in our community and assist with navigating life stressors, processing traumatic events and gaining skills to cope with mental health symptoms. 

Case management Social Workers at CHNWF act as care coordinators, managers and liaisons between patients and resource providers. They facilitate, evaluate, identify needed services and assist patients with overcoming barriers to care and connects patients to available resources and services in the community.
