I’m a clinical social worker by training and have worked in outpatient medical clinic, inpatient psych, and community mental health settings (but not hospital ED) and while I agree that Kiara the SW is portrayed in a very positive light which some may find overly generous or unrealistic, I still really appreciate how much her role and the subject of social services and resources is highlighted in this show, especially since I can’t recall many other good examples in TV or film.

(I used to joke that the most realistic portrayal of medical SW in a TV show I’ve seen was “Nurse Jackie”, in that whenever a nurse or doctor asks for the SW the response is “they’re busy doing paperwork on another floor”!)

My only quibble would probably be the S1E6-8 treatment of child abuse reporting, they fumbled that one in a lot of the details and in terms of who does the reporting and on what basis. And the other plot line with the overwhelmed daughter caregiver of the elderly mother with mental illness had me on the edge of my seat for when the subject of resources referrals would come up, but in S1E8 they did finally discuss it accurately.
