As a school based social worker through Directions, I am assigned to two separate schools where I am responsible for completing Mental Health Assessments, from which I build my caseload of clients for weekly counseling. I am also responsible for helping with crisis and deescalation as as needed. I also have established weekly groups (topics are as needed) with students as requested by my assigned principals. These groups can vary in topic. (Examples; Anger Management, Social Skills, Male Mentorship etc) As a counselor goals were established as needed and worker is able to be a bridge to the family and school to ensure progress is made.
