Social Worker Information
Parents, teachers, staff, and administration can make a referral for a student to see the school social worker. In addition, students can also refer themselves to see a social worker.
The goal of education based social work counseling is to collaborate with students and families to ensure all needs are met so that students have the opportunity to be successful academically, socially, mentally, and emotionally.
