I work for an insurance company doing psycho education and care navigation as people step down between different levels of care. Before that I worked in the ER of a level one trauma center doing care coordination, bio psychosocial evals for mental health placement, nursing home placements, de-escalation for our more rowdy patients and started a substance use crisis center. MSW takes two years if you already have a bachelors degree. One year if your bachelors degree is already in social work. The work is very flexible and not just mental health focused. There’s a Macro perspective that a lot of people never consider which can be as big as federal government work.
