The 2019-2020 school year is the first year Eich students, families, and staff are supported by both a full-time counselor and social worker. My role as school social worker includes:

  • Individual counseling (drop-ins; brief, goal-directed individual sessions; or crisis response),
  • Group counseling focused on psycho-education and social, emotional, and behavioral skill-building,
  • Coordinating community services and supports for students and their families, 
  • Developing and assisting teachers with appropriate accommodations for students with 504 plans, and
  • Providing consultation and collaborating with educators to improve overall classroom management and individual student progress.

Supports are tailored to students’ and families’ individual needs and are focused on improving attendance, on-time arrivals, academic progress, behavioral expectations, and, perhaps most importantly, overall well-being.

Groups generally offered include:

  • Lunch Bunch ~ A place to make friends and practice the art of socializing.
  • Choices ~ A decision-making skills group designed to teach and provide opportunities for students to practice strategies to improve motivation, impulse control, problem solving, goal setting, time-management, organization, prioritizing, and working well with peers and authority figures. 
  • Wise Minds ~ A coping skills group designed to teach and provide opportunities for students to practice distress tolerance strategies, including identifying feelings, challenging negative thinking, using positive self-talk, practicing mindfulness, and enlisting positive supports.
