Introduction
I am applying for the AHPPP Social Worker program with SA Health. During my placement in Mental Health Hospital in the Home, I gained practical experience in managing referrals, conducting admission screenings and psychosocial assessments, and contributing to care planning within multidisciplinary teams. I am particularly interested in developing my career in mental health services and am committed to recovery-oriented and bio-psychosocial practice. I will complete my Master of Social Work in November and am eager to continue working within SA Health’s mental health services.
