Social Work Information

WHY SEE A SOCIAL WORKER?
There are a lot of reasons why students might see a social worker!

  • Academic struggles (low grades, test anxiety, organization)

  • Peer issues - conflicts, drama, social media stuff

  • Family stress

  • Negative thoughts about themselves/low self-esteem

  • Emotional concerns (anxiety, depression)

SOCIAL WORK SERVICES
Middle school is an exciting time...but it can be challenging! We are here to support all students and families as they try to navigate these three tricky years.

Support can be provided in a number of different ways:

  • Weekly group or individual sessions

  • Check-ins as needed

  • Consultation with teachers

  • Assistance to parents/families

  • Referrals to community agencies

HOW CAN I TALK TO MY SOCIAL WORKER?

  • You can stop by the social work offices during your passing period and make arrangements to talk with them

  • You can ask your teacher for a pass (if the social worker is busy, there is a form to fill out to request that they call you down later)

  • You can ask to your parents to reach out to them and

    request a check-in

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

We are a resource for students...and also for parents and families as well. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any concerns or questions. We are happy to discuss these with you and provide support as needed.

In addition to social-emotional supports within the school building, we are also familiar with community resources and can provide appropriate referrals.
