Social workers in 小黄鸭导航 ISD are the unsung heroes, weaving through our schools, providing many types of support to our students and families. Their impact is profound, and this week we鈥檙e celebrating 小黄鸭导航 ISD 小黄鸭导航 Social Worker Appreciation Week. But what exactly do they do
They're not just counselors, According to the 小黄鸭导航 Social Work Association of America (SWAA). They're trained mental health professionals, offering a range of services from behavioral support to academic guidance. They're the backbone of our 小黄鸭导航 ISD community, working tirelessly to bridge the gap between home, school, and community.
These change makers wear many hats in 小黄鸭导航 ISD. From Mental Health Specialists to Wellness Counselors, they're the driving force behind countless initiatives. The district's social workers work closely with AISD's migrant population, homeless students, at-risk students, teen parents and other groups. They serve as special education counselors and behavior specialists and help coordinate family resource centers and disciplinary alternative education programs.
The district's social workers ensure that every student has access to the resources they need to succeed. This week provides our school community with the opportunity to take time to recognize their significant contributions. Take time to thank your school social worker, this week and every week.
