Psychiatric Clinic: A psychiatric clinic is a place that offers its patients a therapeutic environment. In this place, professionals and psychiatric staffs care people with psychological disorders and dedicate their focus on their recovery and personal transformation. In these places, they provide direct services to individuals with psychological disorders and provide consultation and training for both patients and their families. They do also conduct some researches on the improvement of psychiatric measures. In these clinics, social workers are mental health professionals who aid patients to recover better. They are trained to appreciate and emphasize the impact of environmental factors on mental disorders. These places provide various services such as assessment services, community support services, chemical dependency services, counseling services and housing services. For example, in the community support service, they teach families and community members how to cope with the difficulties of communication with people with serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. They also provide psychiatric measures for individuals with psychological disorders so they evaluate the symptoms of the disease, impact of the treatment, impact of the disease on patient, family and even healthcare workers. Sometimes it is hard for healthcare workers to communicate with people with serious mental illnesses so these clinics conduct researches to find new ways for solving such difficulties in psychiatric measures.
