What do school social workers do?

School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a master’s degree in social work who provide services related to a student’s social and emotional adjustment to school, family, community and society. School Social Workers are the link between the home, school, and community providing direct as well as indirect services to students, families and school personnel to promote and support students’ academic and social successes.

It is my mission to provide assistance and resources to the students and families in our LCHS community. Life is unpredictable and can and will throw things at us that are unexpected. It could be unexpected illnesses, job loss, death in the family, health challenges, mental illness, domestic violence, addiction, separations, marriages, divorces, a traumatic event, a move, news of a diagnosis or just a challenge moving from one phase of life to another. Maybe we have noticed our child is not acting the same way or we are worried about their mood changes. Everyone needs help from someone at least once in their lives. I am a resource that can help with where to begin when you just don’t know where to start.
