School Social Workers are an integral link between school, home and the community in helping students achieve academic success. They work directly with school administrators as well as students and families, providing leadership in forming school discipline policies, mental health intervention, crisis management and support services. As part of an interdisciplinary team to help students succeed, school social workers also facilitate community involvement in the schools while advocating for student success. (NASW)
