| Summary |
| This project is a school-based outreach program. The project seeks to assist children and their families in addressing a range of problems, including crisis situations, through individual, family, and group therapy, skills training, assessment, and case management services. Other project goals are to support teachers' awareness of student needs and to increase parent participation at the school. The project will provide a full-time social worker on site, and both a half-time social worker and a family support worker to perform crisis intervention, make assessments, home visits, and provide trainings. The social work staff will develop reports on the need for advocacy and referral services and the variety and number of trainings conducted. Surveys for other community professionals who collaborate with the social workers will also be developed. |
