What Role Does Social Work Play in Building a Resilient Community?

I’m Olivia. I am a clinical Social Worker where I have been supporting clients for the last 10 years, although I believe my awareness of individuals needing support began at an early age.

My commitment is to help to bridge the gap between healthcare and mental well-being. My journey began in the world of healthcare, where the disconnect between patient care and physicians became apparent, particularly with my father being a physician and spending family dinners in an Emergency Room.I saw first hand that there was an element of psychosocial support lacking.

This early exposure brought awareness to the profound correlation between healthcare and mental well-being, inspiring me to explore the intricacies that define our healthcare system. Recognizing the critical need for support not only within healthcare but throughout our society, I set out on a quest to understand the missing elements.

My exploration led me to diverse populations, abroad and in the U.S. and various psychosocial backgrounds, seeking answers to what humans lack the most and identifying my role as a social worker in helping people comprehend their needs.

This website serves as a dynamic platform to share my past and present experiences, shedding light on societal gaps that I believe can be improved. It’s more than a digital space; it’s a canvas for reflection, a hub for learning, and a forum for collaboration. Join me in building a resilient, more supportive community.
