School Social Worker Support
School Social Workers play a critical role in supporting the academic, emotional, and social success of students by bridging the gap between home, school, and community. Our Social Workers provide comprehensive services, targeted interventions, and referrals for resources. They are trained mental health professionals who work directly with students, families, and school staff to identify and address barriers, remove obstacles to learning, and promote student success.
Individual and Group Support
Provide short-term counseling and support for students experiencing emotional, behavioral, or social challenges.
Facilitate small group sessions focusing on topics like attendance, coping skills, grief and loss, conflict resolution, and social-emotional development.
Family Support and Engagement
Collaborate with families to strengthen home-school communication and support positive parenting strategies.
Help families navigate community services such as food assistance, housing support, transportation, and mental health care.
School-Based Interventions
Collaborate with teachers, counselors, and administrators to provide input on the development of behavior intervention plans, address attendance concerns, and support students in crisis.
Contribute to the development of 504 Plans, IEPs, and other student support plans, and participate in parent meetings to support educational equity and student access to services.
Crisis Response and Advocacy
Respond to crises, such as family trauma, abuse, neglect, or homelessness.
Advocate for students’ rights, safety, and well-being, especially in cases involving child protection, truancy, or barriers related to poverty.
Community Collaboration
Connect students and families to local agencies, healthcare providers, and service organizations.
Serve as a liaison between the school system and external resources to ensure coordinated care and ongoing support.
If you have concerns about your child’s social, emotional, or behavioral well-being, please contact your school’s counselor or social worker to explore available supports.
