Welcome to Middleton's Social Support Site
Welcome
School social workers can help to improve the social and emotional functioning of children as well as their families. Working with parents, grandparents, teachers, students, principals, and the community, School social workers are there to make sure that each student is able to reach his/her potential both in and out of the school setting. School social workers help children with stressors (such as divorce, being teased, making friends) that they may face at home or school. Dealing with these difficult issues can lead children to have behavior issues in the classroom, poor grades, or attendance problems. It can be extremely helpful for students to have someone, such as the social worker, to listen to their problems with a nonjudgmental ear and offer advice, solutions, and emotional support.
School psychologists work collaboratively with school social workers, educators, parents, and other professionals to support children's academic, social, emotional, and behavioral functioning. School psychologists are trained in both psychology and education.
