School social workers are trained professionals who support students' overall well-being and success. They address emotional, behavioral, and social issues that may affect learning, such as family problems, mental health concerns, or bullying. They collaborate with teachers, parents, and administrators to create a safe and supportive school environment. By providing counseling, crisis intervention, and connecting families with community resources, school social workers help students overcome obstacles, foster resilience, and develop essential life skills. Their goal is to promote both academic achievement and social-emotional growth, ensuring students have the support they need to thrive.
