Social Work at CAMHSocial Workers are integral members of all clinical multidisciplinary teams at CAMH. They are also employed in management and leadership capacities, in education and training, in policy development and dissemination, and in research. CAMH requires that all social workers be registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. As with all regulated health professionals at CAMH, social workers must provide annual proof of membership in good standing with the College. For information regarding this College, please see www.ocswssw.org. Many social workers at CAMH also participate in the provincial social work association (www.oasw.org). Social Work has a very active student education and training program and each year we provide field placements for students, primarily at the Masters level, from the University of Toronto, Wilfrid Laurier University, York University, Smith College in Boston, Ryerson University, Dalhousie University among others. There are three educational coordinators at CAMH. Claudia Tindall, MSW RSW administers all of the student training opportunities at our College Street site, Colleen Kelly, MSW RSW takes care of training in our addiction programs at the Russell Street site, and Elizabeth Holmes, MSW RSW coordinates all training at our Queen Street site. All education coordinators have a very active training program in all of our sites. More recently, we have recruited many of our excellent social work staff from the ranks of our students. There is Social Work Council at CAMH, chaired by the Social Worker in Chief and all social workers are invited to be members of this Council. The Council organizes a very active staff development program for staff and students and this occurs throughout the academic year.
