10 _ For Your Care<br />
Mental Health Workers/Nursing Assistants<br />
Mental health workers <strong>and</strong> nursing assistants work with our nursing staff to provide care <strong>and</strong> support<br />
for you on the unit.<br />
Psychologist<br />
A psychologist may administer verbal or written diagnostic tests, which are used to help clarify a<br />
diagnosis <strong>and</strong> develop a treatment plan.<br />
Psychosocial Rehabilitation Staff<br />
The Psychosocial Rehabilitation staff (occupational <strong>and</strong> recreational therapists) provide skills training<br />
<strong>and</strong> rehabilitation to help patients develop socialization, leisure, vocational, <strong>and</strong> independent living<br />
skills for returning to the community.<br />
Unit Assistants<br />
Unit assistants greet patients <strong>and</strong> visitors as they arrive on the unit, answer phones, respond to call<br />
bells, <strong>and</strong> schedule tests. They are available to answer your questions <strong>and</strong> direct you within the unit.<br />
If the unit assistant does not know the answer, he or she is responsible for finding the appropriate<br />
person on the unit who can help you.
