The purpose of the school social worker is to provide proactive emotional and social support as well as community resources to students and families. School Social Workers can assist with mental health concerns, behavioral concerns, positive behavioral support, classroom support, consultation with teachers, parents, and administrators.
School social workers help by:
Advocating for new and improved community/school services to meet the needs of students and families
Assisting teachers with behavior management
Mobilizing family, school, and community resources to enable the child to learn as effectively as possible in their educational program
Providing crisis management
Providing mental health assessment and safety planning
Providing short term group and individual counseling services
As the school social worker, I support ALL students regardless of ethnic group identification, race ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender, national origin, religion, or mental or physical disability. If you are interested in the services offered, please contact me via email.
