Quick answer

What is a psychosocial assessment?

A psychosocial assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of how psychological factors (such as mood, stress and coping) interact with social factors (such as family, relationships, work, finances, culture and community). A Registered Clinical Social Worker gathers information through interviews and questionnaires, then provides a report with findings and recommendations.

Psychosocial assessments are often requested for treatment planning, academic or workplace accommodations, immigration or legal processes, or to understand how life circumstances are affecting wellbeing.
