Social Worker Referral Process

Social Work referrals are initiated by the campus counselor. If parents or guardians feel their student may benefit from social work services or additional support, they are encouraged to contact their campus counselor directly. The counselor will collaborate with families to determine needs and begin the referral process as appropriate.
