What is a School Social Worker? 

According to the National Association of Social Workers, "school social workers help students and families overcome the social, behavioral, emotional, and economic problems that prevent learning.  They interview students to determine problems, use professional judgment to assess conditions, refer for appropriate professional or community services, and follow up to assure that services are provided and that conditions improve."
