About School Social Work

School Social Workers support the school community through promoting positive behaviors, providing enriching activities for children, and supporting the needs of teachers and the school community.

School Social Workers teach lessons on social and emotional knowledge and skills that help all children understand and express their feelings, identify their strengths, navigate social situations, and make positive impact on their community.

School Social Workers provide counseling for a range of issues that interfere with a child's academic abilities:

• Worries and anxiety

• Changes in mood or behavior

• Frustration tolerance

• Inattention and impulsivity

• Behavior concerns

• Difficulty making friends

• and so much more!

School Social Workers work with small groups of children to support social skill development and skills that positively impact their social, emotional, and academic abilities.

School Social Workers support in connecting families to resources that can support their well-being outside of the school building.
