School Social Work

School social workers provide the link between students, parents, schools, and the community. Working with other professionals in the schools, social workers address the physical, emotional, developmental, and educational needs of students. They provide intervention for students who are facing behavior problems, learning difficulties, emotional struggles, abuse, neglect, domestic violence, and other problems. School social workers also make home visit to assist families and assess the child's home environment.
