Reamer* Clinical social workers provide the lion’s share of mental health services to people whose challenges bring them to the at- tention of lawyers who practice family law. Significant numbers of clients who are immersed in proceedings related to child cus- tody, divorce, termination of parental rights, adoption, and juve- nile delinquency seek clinical social work services. Such services help people make critically important decisions (for example, pe- titioning for child custody, divorcing, or relinquishing parental rights) and cope with emotionally traumatic events (for example, associated with marital conflict, divorce proceedings, looming loss of child custody, prosecution). Professionally trained social workers have been providing mental health services since the early 1900s, shortly after the pro- fession’s formal inauguration in the late nineteenth century.1 Like clinicians in allied behavioral health professions – psychol- ogy, psychiatry, mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy – clinical social workers are trained to assess, diagnose, and ameliorate problems, disorders, and conditions that interfere with healthy functioning of people of all ages and backgrounds. They provide individual, couples, family, and group counseling in a wide variety of settings, including community mental health centers, family service agencies, psychiatric hospitals and clinics, residential treatment programs, addictions programs, and private (independent) practice. Social work’s unique perspective entails explicit, simultane- ous focus on environmental and structural phenomena that often exacerbate mental health challenges faced by lawyers’ clients, such as poverty, unemployment, homelessness, substandard * Professor, Rhode Island College, School of Social Work, Providence, Rhode Island.

Albert, PhD University of Connecticut, 2018 Despite its roots as a leader in juvenile justice, prison advocacy and reform, appreciation and professional support for forensic social work (FSW) has waxed and waned over the last one hundred and twenty years. It has gone from leadership in the field of criminal justice to becoming nearly invisible to the profession of social work itself. Over the last decade, FSW began experiencing a resurgence thanks to a shift in policy and practice toward treatment and diversion for justice-involved individuals. Despite FSW’s historical roots and relevance to today’s justice systems, there is a dearth of materials about who is practicing in the FSW field and their level of fit in their organization. Other information, such as how they chose their specialization, how they were educated and trained, and how various protective and deleterious (negative) factors influence that level of fit, job satisfaction, job role stress and sustainability is also essential.

  • Social Work and Forensic Practice
    SOCIAL WORK AND FORENSIC PRACTICE: AN ASSESSMENT OF ATTITUDES AND EXPERIENCES by LAURA A. LOWE (Under the Direction of Edwin A. Risler) ABSTRACT Criminal justice populations represent oppressed groups with which the social work profession has traditionally identified. However, relatively few social workers are currently practicing in this area. This research study compared social workers with and without educational exposure to and work experience with criminal offenders. It explored the impact of educational exposure on the rate of choosing to practice with criminal offenders. It compared attitudes and experiences in this area of practice. A mail survey was conducted with 400 social workers belonging to two professional organizations. The survey inquired about educational experiences and attitudes towards internship, employment, and the general field of social work with offenders. A response rate of 60% was achieved. The respondents were primarily female (78%) and White (82.9%), with a mean age of 48 (SD=10.98). Approximately 50% of the respondents had professional experience working with criminal offenders. Results indicated that social workers with professional work experience with offenders were more likely to have completed an internship with offenders or to have taken a specific course on offender work than those without offender experience. Respondents who took an offender course or completed an offender internship reported more years of practice with offenders. Respondents who reported being exposed through coursework or internships felt more prepared to work with offenders; however, they did not report higher feelings of comfort with this field of practice. While respondents with professional experience with offenders had significantly more positive attitudes toward offender social work than those without such work experience, educational exposure did not appear to influence this issue.

  • Forensic Social Work
    FORENSIC SOCIAL WORK Forensic social workers today: the role of the social supervisor, continuing professional development, recruitment and retention issues: a summary of findings Jacob Daly, August 2020 Foreword Social workers have a vital role within all aspects of mental health services and are employed in many areas of forensic services, but especially to support people to be discharged from hospital or as social supervisors. Forensic services are a specialist part of mental health services supporting people who have higher levels of risk or detention in secure care or within the criminal justice system. The Health Education England ‘New Roles in Mental Health’ social work group has been exploring in detail the expertise of social workers working in forensic mental health and how we can support them to undertake this important role. We commissioned our colleague Jacob Daly, to undertake this scoping study and to explore any possible recommendations or developments that can support the development of social work within forensic services. Mark Trewin Mental Health Social Work Lead, Chief Social Worker Office, Department of Health & Social Care Chair, Health Education England’s New Roles in Mental Health Social Work Group Fellow of the Mental Health Collective September 2020 1 | Page Abstract This scoping exercise examined forensic social work (FSW) in relation to the three areas of: continuing professional development (CPD), the role of the social supervisor, and recruitment and retention issues. The scoping exercise took place between 17 February 2020 and 31 March 2020, with two days spent on the project each week. The information gathering process included a review of job descriptions and job specifications, a review of policy and legislation, questionnaires for practitioners and managers, attendance at a conference, Skype business meetings with participants, telephone calls with participants, emails and documentation received from participants, and discussions with different stakeholders.

    Version 6 090516 Forensic Mental Health Social Work Capabilities Framework Project Professional Capabilities Framework The professional capabilities framework for social workers is a sector developed and owned framework which defines the standards expected of professional social workers working at different levels of their careers. The PCF consists of nine domains and five levels post qualifying, progression through levels is characterized by the ability to work with increasing risk, ambiguity and complicity with confidence and autonomy. Version 6 090516 The level and domain descriptors provided by the PCF are being used to help shape and think about the standards and expectations of social work in both secure and community forensic settings and we are seeking input from practitioners, managers and wider stakeholders to help shape and inform the final product.
