School Social Work is a specialized area of practice within the broad field of the social work profession. School Social Workers bring unique knowledge and skills to the school system and the Student Support Services team. They are particularly trained in mental health and behavioral issues and are trauma-informed. They provide positive behavioral, academic, and classroom support and consultation with teachers, parents, and administrators.

School Social Workers are instrumental in furthering the school's mission to provide a supportive setting for teaching and learning and attaining competence and confidence.
