#SchoolSocialWorkers are hired by school districts to enhance their district's ability to meet academic missions, especially where home, school & community collaboration is the key to achieving student success. They’re on the front lines of addressing barriers to learning. https://www.socialworkers.org/Back2SchoolSocialWorkers #Back2schoolSocialWorkers #SocialWorkGoes2School #NASW #SSWAA #SWBack2School #BackToSchool


Federal CRDC data shows a ratio of 2,106 students to 1 #schoolsocialworker, creating a caseload nearly 8 times greater than what experts recommend. Less than 3% of US schools met this professional standard. https://bit.ly/2PYiO1G @ACLU @TheSSWAA @NASW #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers


Schools fortunate to have mental health professionals, like #schoolsocialworkers, are still grossly understaffed. Via @ACLU https://bit.ly/2PYiO1G @SSWAA @NASW #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers #schoolsocialwork #SEL #ClosingthegapSSW #mentalhealth


Federal, state and local dollars must prioritize school #socialworkers, school psychologists, school counselors and school nurses. Via @ACLU https://bit.ly/2PYiO1G @SSWAA @NASW #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers #schoolsocialwork #ClosingthegapSSW #mentalhealth

Did you know #SchoolSocialWorkers, school #counselors, school #psychologists and school #nurses are frequently the first to see children who are sick, stressed, traumatized & who may act out, or may hurt themselves? #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers @SSWAA @NASW #schoolsocialwork #ClosingthegapSSW #mentalhealth


Students are 21 times more likely to visit school-based health centers for treatment than anywhere else. @ACLU @SSWAA #schoolsocialwork #SEL #ClosingthegapSSW #mentalhealth #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers


Schools that employ more school-based mental health providers see improved attendance rates, lower rates of suspension or other disciplinary incidents, expulsion, improved academic achievement, career preparation and graduation rates. @NASW @SSWAA #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers


Data shows that schools that provide health and #mentalhealth services to our children not only improve the health outcomes for those students, but also improve school safety. @SSWAA @NASW #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers #schoolsocialwork #SEL #ClosingthegapSSW


#School #SocialWork is founded on the values for social justice and empowering marginalized populations, uniquely qualifying school social workers to address student, family, and community needs. @NASW @SSWAA #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers #schoolsocialwork #mentalhealth

School social workers receive training in theoretical frameworks that positions them to address barriers to learning and empower and enlist family involvement in their child's education. @NASW @SSWAA #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers #schoolsocialwork #mentalhealth #ClosingthegapSSW


Did you know school districts often do not meet the #NASW recommendation of at least one social worker per 250 students or one social worker per 50 students when a school has intensive needs? Support #schoolsocialworkers #Back2SchoolSocialWorkers @nasw @SSWAA #mentalhealth

#SchoolSocialWorkers are trained mental health professionals who can assist with mental health concerns, behavioral concerns, positive behavioral support, academic, and classroom support, consultation with teachers, parents, and administrators as well as provide individual and group counseling/therapy. Support them. https://www.socialworkers.org/Back2SchoolSocialWorkers #BacktoSchool #NASW #SSWAA
