School Social Workers do provide a wide range of service to many students.  However, not every student needs a School Social Worker.  You may feel that you already have everyone you need in your circle.  You may already be working with a counsellor in the community.  You may have tried counselling and found it just wasn’t for you or maybe the timing just isn’t right. You know your situation best.
