School Social Worker
The School Social Worker supports students’ social, emotional, behavioral, and personal well-being so they can participate successfully in school. At Outlook Academy, we know that students may face challenges both inside and outside of school. Social work support is available to help students feel supported, connected, and better prepared to succeed.

A Supportive Message for Students
Asking for help is a sign of strength. Students do not have to handle challenges alone. The goal of school social work support is to listen, help students problem-solve, connect families with helpful resources, and support students as they continue working toward their academic and personal goals.
