The power of palliative social work

Palliative Social Work has a rich tradition of providing psychosocial and psychological interventions in support of people managing serious illness.  We use a “person-in-environment” perspective which helps us to see the whole person, how illness may impact their life, family and psychological well-being as well as the practical aspects of living such as finances and housing.
