Talk to the Social Work Intern

The Bergenfield Library strives to develop cooperative relationships with community organizations and local governmental agencies. To further the our goal of connecting our community with the resources you need, we offer the services of our Social Work intern (Master of Social Work student) who can assist you with:

• Finding community resources and providing agency referral
• Completing applications for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid/Medicare, and other benefit programs
• Getting an ID, Birth Certificate, and other vital documents

Please note that the social work intern is not able to provide any clinical services (i.e. therapy). We are able to refer you to a social service agency that can provide clinical support.

There are no residency requirements to meet with the social work intern. All are welcome to drop in! Se habla español. Meetings are on a first come, first serve basis.

Social work services at the library are free of charge. We cannot guarantee that any referral services will also be free of charge. Participation is completely voluntary.This program is a partnership with Adelphi University School of Social Work, Fairleigh Dickinson School of Social Work and Rutgers University School of Social Work.
