Welcome to a new school year! Although, we are all experiencing a new "normal" with the Pandemic of Coronavirus, we are going to forge through it with excitement, vigor and nothing but positive energy. I have been assigned to Innovative Concept Academy for eleven years.
My responsibility as a School Social Worker is to provide a vital link among the school, home and community. This involves providing direct services to all students and their families including casework, group work, addressing crisis interventions and making referreals to community agencies. Additionally, consultation with teachers and administrators and frequent participation on teams within the schools is also a vital link to support student services.
School Social Workers service students and their families for many diffeent reasons. Several of these include: attendance reefrreals, family dysfunction, behavioral concerns, mental health issues, substance abuse, child abuse/neglect, life-threatening behaviors, economic deprivation, special education assessment, inadequate health care and lack of understanding of school policies and procedures. We also provide advocacy for the child or family and are a link to community resources as well
