School Social Workers
School Social Workers are available at every school as a resource for families, students and teachers.
Their main role is to develop and maintain relationships with students, families, school staff, and community resources.
Social workers join with families and schools to meet the needs of students and help ensure success at school. Unlike child protection workers, school social workers do not investigate allegations of child abuse or neglect. They consult with the educational team in areas of social-emotional learning, mental health diagnosis and treatment, behavioral management strategies and community resources. School social workers also provide direct services to students in one-on-one or small group settings to help build the skills that students need to succeed at school.
School Social Workers are licensed by the Colorado Department of Education and supervised by the SJBOCES Director of Special Education. Please visit www.cde.state.co.us/ssw/aboutus.asp to learn more about School Social Workers in Colorado.
If you need information or resources in the SJBOCES community, please visit our Community Resource Guide for contact information on services in Durango, Ignacio, Bayfield, Silverton and Pagosa Springs: www.sjboces.org/community.htm.
For parents of kids with disabilities or special needs, you might be interested in the Parent-to-Parent of Colorado organization: www.p2p-co.org/.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the social worker at your child’s school.
