Cherry Hospital's Hope & Wellness Center (HWC) uses the "treatment mall" model of service delivery. The treatment mall is a centralized programming area away from each patient's hospital residential unit where recovery-oriented treatment and rehabilitative services are made accessible to all the facility's adult patient population (geriatric, adult acute, independence transition) in an integrated program design.

Ultimately, the vast majority of adult patients from throughout the hospital receive services at the Hope & Wellness Center. HWC programming offerings include, but are not limited to, psychotherapy and educational groups, skill building groups, individual counseling services, peer support services, work therapy, and special activities. All patients and staff re-locate to this centralized programming area as do all patient services such as meals,  snacks, medication administration, nursing care, medical treatments, charting, and treatment team meetings.

The primary model of service delivery will be facilitating groups in the Hope & Wellness Center treatment mall program.

This position is responsible for facilitating groups within the Hope and Wellness Center treatment mall program.

The Clinical Social Worker develops topics and modalities to be used in group therapy.
