Handbook/ policies
Welcome!
School social workers (LCSWs) can provide you with a variety of services like:
· Healthy life skills, healthy relationships and coping skills
· Responsive services including crisis response, mental and emotional wellness skills, group and individual therapy.
Making an appointment is the easiest and most effective way to reach me. I am traveling to several schools and I want to be able to be available and give you focused attention to effectively meet you and your child’s needs. I encourage parents or guardians to call the school for an appointment.
I will be in Park Valley on Tuesdays.
