This is a great opportunity, for a dedicated Social Worker to have a big impact on the lives of people experiencing psychological trauma.

As part of the **Transition to Mental Health Practice** program, this position will be supported by a SW Clinical Educator and provided with specific training and guidance around mental health diagnosis, treatment and intervention.
