Social Services
In the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Clinical Social Work Services are provided to families who have a child seen for an assessment and / or treatment in the division and are an integral part of the team.

- Provide information and referral on community resources for treatment and support
- Help with grief, loss and bereavement issues
- Intervene in crisis situations
- Counsel families confronted with social and financial difficulties
- Assessment and intervention when children present with concerns of child abuse and neglect
- Social workers are available on all of the medical floors and are assigned to most of the specialty areas.
