Social Workers
School Social Workers are specially trained and licensed mental health professionals who work within a school setting to support students' social, emotional, and academic well-being while also supporting families, colleagues, and the broader community. They collaborate with students, families, teachers, and administrators to address a wide range of challenges, including mental health concerns, behavioral issues, family difficulties, and academic struggles. By providing services such as counseling, crisis intervention, and connecting families to community resources, school social workers help create a positive and supportive learning environment for all.
