We have a team of mental health professionals who can offer concrete support to people who are experiencing difficulties and want to regain control over their well-being. This team includes social workers, who offer an online social work service. Through one or more virtual consultations, it is possible to benefit from the vast expertise of a social worker. We discuss this service in 3 points in the following article.
Virtual consultations with qualified and recognized professionals
Meeting with a social worker in virtual mode is like meeting with a professional in an office. You will enjoy the same quality of services, offered by a recognized professional. Indeed, social workers who offer virtual services are also members in good standing of the Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et des thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux du Québec. They are therefore subject to the same code of ethics and are supervised by their professional order.
The social worker is the professional to consult when one encounters difficulties in daily life, related to a complex social situation. Advice can be given to adults as well as to children and adolescents. The professional knows how to direct his or her client to the right resources and the involvement of the person’s entourage is often taken advantage of during the interventions.
When should I call upon online social work?
There are a multitude of situations in which one can benefit from the advice of a social worker in order to navigate through the difficulties one encounters in life. These may include personal difficulties such as dealing with emotions and managing stress and anxiety. Assertiveness and self-confidence issues can also be addressed, as well as adjustment issues, such as a new environment.
A couple’s social worker can also be consulted, particularly to address communication problems. Relationship problems are part of the social work field of expertise, as much those experienced in couples as in families.
Social work intervention can also be very beneficial following a shock or a trauma, in case of bereavement, after the announcement of an illness, etc. Social work can also be helpful in cases of physical dependency or to deal with suicidal thoughts.
Online social work: simple steps to take advantage of the service
At Clinic GO™, we aim to provide services that are tailored to the needs of the client. With online social work, it’s easy to take advantage of a professional’s expertise and guidance when you encounter a problematic situation and want to move forward to resolve it.
Here is how our online social work service works:
- Appointment request: by filling out the form available on our website, your appointment request is forwarded to our counselors. Our team selects the professional according to his or her availability and the expertise required. We then contact you to confirm the appointment.
- Teleconsultation by videoconference: a few minutes before the consultation, a link is sent to you to allow you to access it via a videoconference service. You will need a computer or a mobile device equipped with a microphone and a camera.
- Conduct of the first appointment: The main purpose of the first appointment is to establish initial contact with the professional. He or she will get to know your social situation, the problems you are facing, etc. Initial advice is offered and the modalities for follow-up are defined.
- Follow-up: it is possible to schedule several meetings with the same social worker for a complete and personalized accompaniment.
We can offer you the help you need to fully develop your daily life. Do not hesitate to call on our services!
