In this episode of BARE IT ALL Coffee Talk, we welcome Katie Sclafani, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Transplant Social Worker with the Sala Institute for Child & Family Centered Care at NYU Langone’s Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital.
Katie walks us through the invaluable role social workers play in the pediatric liver disease journey — from diagnosis through transplant and every step in between. As part of the care team, social workers help ensure families are informed, connected to resources, and supported as they navigate complex medical decisions and transitions.
Whether you're a caregiver, healthcare provider, or advocate, this conversation offers an important look into how social workers guide and empower families during some of their most challenging moments.
