School Psychologists are highly trained education professionals who provide support and resources to teachers, students, and parents. They contribute to a positive school climate by promoting mental health solutions, providing community resources, supporting social-emotional curriculums, monitoring individual student academic progress, reinforcing coping skills and resiliency, providing crisis prevention and intervention, as well as advocating for students with diverse learning and multicultural needs.
