The Social Work Department is the cornerstone of the
intervention process. We receive referrals from
teachers
and other school personal as well as
parents and students. The referrals help us
identify students whose lifestyle choices are
interfering with their academic and social
potential. We offer numerous services including:
a
individual and group
counseling
a
support counseling
a
crisis intervention
a
consultation to
teachers and administrators
a
assessment
a
classroom
presentations |
All social
workers are located in Room 128.
Students, teachers and parents can make an
appointment by calling:
Linda
Kairis
Administrative Assistant
570-8571 / (fax) 887-9518 |
|
Through the above
services we deal with:
| a
depression |
a
behavior changes
|
| a
substance
abuse |
a
parent conflict
|
| a
stress |
a
alienation |
|
a
attendance problems
|
a
drop in grades
|
|
a
teacher/student
conflict |
a
loneliness |
|
a
grief and loss |
a
trauma
|
| a
behavior
management |
a
crisis situations
|
By acting as a liaison
for parents, we can also provide referral resources
for students who need outside counseling as well.
As a result of the successful open
house in the Fall, the social workers now have a
comprehensive referral list of community providers.
If you are concerned about your son or daughter’s
behavior or social-emotional issues, please contact
the social work department.
