Mission Statement:
The members of the North Carolina School Social
Workers Association provide services that enhance and
promote the educational, emotional, and social needs of
students and families in order for them to make use of
the resources available to them to achieve their full
potential within their home, school, and community.
According to the School Social Work Association of
America, school social work is a specialized area of
practice within the broad field of the social work
profession. School social workers bring unique knowledge
and skills to the school system and the student services
team. School Social Workers are instrumental in
furthering the purpose of the schools: To provide a
setting for teaching, learning, and for the attainment
of competence and confidence. School social workers are
hired by school districts to enhance the district's
ability to meet its academic mission, especially where
home, school and community collaboration is the key to
achieving that mission. |
