School Psychologists and School Social Workers are uniquely qualified to apply their knowledge and expertise of child development, mental health, learning and behavior to help children and adolescents succeed in school. As members of the student services team, School Psychologists and School Social Workers work to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
As school psychologists, we help students, families, educators, and community members understand and resolve both long-term, chronic problems and short-term issues that students may face related to learning, social relationships, making difficult decisions, and/or managing emotions such as feeling depressed, anxious, worried, or isolated. Our goal is to provide high levels of skill and resources to assist in efforts that promote student success at school, home, and in life.
