| Description | Knowledge about mental health and the skills to work effectively with people who have mental health problems are basic to contemporary social work practice. Social workers have been employed in mental health settings for many years now, and mental health has been a traditional field of specialist social work practice. Learning about mental illness and treatment approaches, and critiquing the various medical and social models to explain mental illness and its impacts, have traditionally been core elements of the social work curriculum. Social work's interest in family, community, social welfare and social justice has contributed significantly to the broad knowledge base for policy and practice in mental health. However, beyond the hospital and community mental health treatment settings are a range of recovery-based support services that also employ social workers. As well as working in adult mental health, social workers are employed in areas of child and adolescent mental health, forensic mental health, specialised aged-care settings and with specific population groups such as Indigenous Australians and culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
