What does a Social Worker Do?

School Social Workers bridge the gap between home, school and the community to advocate and provide support for struggling students and families. The primary goal of school social work is to address barriers to success and identify the resources that students and families need to achieve success both in school and in life. Social workers provide services that empower families to provide for their basic needs and to resolve any social, emotional, or behavioral issues that may be hindering student academic and social success. Just some of the many services that School Social Workers provide are:

Crisis Prevention and Intervention
