Overview

Guiding principles for trauma-responsive antiracist clinical social work practice presume the worth and dignity of all people, a strengths perspective, the need for client confidentiality, and client empowerment and self-determination in decision-making. Students of the Clinical Social Work program from Boston University learn to practice with an understanding of social policy and macro systems and consider how these policies and systems impact clients and worker practices.

Clinical internships provide opportunities for the application of classroom learning to individual, group, and family situations in the field. Additionally, internships promote reflective supervision that encourages students and supervisors to examine their positionality in the clinical relationship and overall thoughts and feelings that impact practice with clients.

Clinical social workers are employed in a wide variety of fields that include but are not limited to mental health, child welfare and children’s services, home-based interventions, health clinics and hospitals, family service and substance-use treatment settings, school social work, services for older adults, and housing agencies.
