What Do Social Workers Do at Forge?
At Forge, our social workers serve people from all walks of life who need care for mental health, trauma, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. Our team of clinical professionals provides comprehensive outpatient care that is convenient and customized to each person’s unique needs.
We treat Veterans and first responders, oncology patients and their caregivers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other community members as they cope with the stressors of life and any trauma they have experienced. Social work is a way for everyone to recognize in themselves the power to take control of your thoughts and minimize triggers so you can focus on the things in life that bring you joy.
