Abstract
This presentation reflects on my experience as a social work intern at Riveredge Hospital through the CELTS Fall 2025 Internship Award. I will discuss my work primarily in the adolescent girls unit while also supporting adolescent boys, children and adult patients. The presentation highlights clinical responsibilities including psychosocial assessments, crisis safety planning and therapeutic engagement with patients facing substance use, unstable home environments and histories of neglect or abuse. I will also reflect on group facilitation, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and the professional growth gained by applying classroom knowledge to real-world clinical settings.
