My name is Jessica Bersani and I have been a social worker for almost 10 years! Prior to working in education, I began my career working in a psychiatric facility, which motivated me to learn and try to understand mental health. After working in a psych hospital, I transitioned to working at a residential treatment facility, working with adolescents who were placed through Family Court (foster care and the juvenile justice system). It was there that I realized the importance of having consistent support for our young people in school, as much as outside of school. I spent the last 5 years of my careers as a school social worker in the Bronx. I am very excited to be a part of the PRMS community!
