The mental health professional that serves as a link between community services and a patient is typically a social worker. Social workers often provide support and advocacy for individuals needing mental health services, connecting them with community resources and services to improve their well-being.
Psychologists focus on therapy and assessment, psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication, and neurologists specialize in the nervous system, but social workers play a crucial role in bridging gaps between patients and community resources.
