School Social Workers are licensed and/or certified mental health providers who can assist with mental health concerns, positive behavioral support, academic, and classroom support, consultation with teachers, parents, and administrators as well as provide individual and group counseling/therapy. School Social Workers provide services related to a person's social, emotional and life adjustment to school and/or society.
~~~~~~
School psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments. To do this, School psychologists can: provide direct support and interventions to students; consult with teachers, families, and mental health professionals to improve support strategies; work with school administrators to improve school-wide practices and policies; and collaborate with community providers to coordinate needed services. They help schools successfully improve Academic Achievement and promote Positive behavior and Mental Health.
~~~~~~
School Social Workers and School Psychologists are the link between the home, school and community in providing direct as well as indirect services to students, families and school personnel to promote and support students' academic and social success.
