My name is Frances Young. This will be my 5th year at Lied STEM Academy as the School Social Worker.
I am a clinical social worker and licensed with the State of Nevada Board of Examiners for Social Workers. I obtained my Associates degree in Psychology from College of Southern Nevada. I then completed my Bachelors Degree in Psychology with a minor in Family Studies at UNLV. I completed my journey at UNLV with my Masters degree in Social Work. During that time, as I found my passion to work with children and youth, I was thankfully selected for the UNLV Behavioral Workforce Education Training for Professionals Stipend. This included a one year intensive training to intervene on behalf of children, adolescents and transitional-age youth who are at risk or who have developed behavioral health disorders in an integrated setting.

I have over 15 years of experience working with children in different settings as well as with medical and mental health issues that affect their every day lives. I have worked in psychiatric behavioral health hospitals across the valley with all age ranges of children to geriatrics. I currently work in private practice with all age ranges of clients.

Family and Fun
Family and Fun
My way to de-stress and relax is to be home with my family including my husband, two children and our husky named, Joey. I love to watch movies, go ocean kayaking, absolutely anything beach related and running at the park in the early mornings before I start my day. I visit California often to spend time with family and we are vacationing in Oregon more often to see my in-laws. My best friend and I are big Harry Potter fans as well as amusement park goers. So we love to visit "The Happiest Place on Earth" when possible or anywhere that has a rollercoaster. In the future, my husband and I hope to go snorkeling again in the Bahamas and bring all of our family to have fun with us.

I love a good book, coffee and just about every genre of music. I have a major love for animals and enjoy participating in volunteer activities to help them. Animals can be very therapeutic and I like to educate children on how they can be beneficial to our mental health. I love whales and one of the best past times I had, was when I was able to swim with Beluga whales. They are the sweetest! Aside from animals, friends and family, I, just like everyone else, need to make sure I keep healthy coping skills in place. I practice what I teach to students and have started my mastery in meditation.
