Social work services are provided to the district at the Grade School (K-5), Middle School (6-8), and High School (9-12) to assist students and their families as needed to address personal, social or emotional maladjustment related to their educational and/or social progress. Responsibilities may include but are not limited to:

Client/Constituent Contact: Studying, intervening, and assessing students in settings that include the classroom, individual sessions, small group work, family systems, and the school-wide community; the collection of biological, psychological and sociological assessment data related to planning, intervening and goal attainment for children with adjustment problems; triaging students with emergencies/crisis’ as needed; providing unbiased and supportive counseling, education, and referrals as required with respect to client’s unique race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ancestry or national origin, or disability.

Administrative Tasks/Case management/Support: Case management style services may include assistance with the intake process; arranging, coordinating, monitoring, evaluating and advocating for multiple services that meet a student/family’s complex needs; performing casework services with families as part of an integral task of helping students; increasing the knowledge and use of appropriate resources available to the school community; research regarding local resources and potential partnerships for ongoing use, file/record reviews, etc.

Meetings/trainings/conferences: Meet weekly with LCSW to complete case studies, reflect on CSWE competencies, micro/mezzo/macro interventions, and outcomes with specific attention to how values, ethics, and bias impact performance and how healthy self-care aids retention; attend a variety of interdisciplinary meetings; participate in applicable school-wide workshops/trainings.

Miscellaneous: Contribute to strategies utilized in school-wide interventions that support the mental health, social and emotional needs of students and the school community on an ongoing basis while ensuring respect to all client’s unique race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ancestry or national origin, or disability; plan and apply interventions that will assist students to meet academic/social milestones that eventually lead to graduation. Intern will have the opportunity to shadow the district social worker and school counselors, the school nurses since they often support students who are struggling with mental/emotional/social needs, as well as the Special Education teachers and Behavioral Interventionist, the Title IX Coordinator and Affirmative Action coordinator, and McKinney-Vento homelessness liaison. Specific support may also be provided around students experiencing food insecurity.

Additional Info: It would be important for the student to feel comfortable working with a wide age range since there will be opportunities to work with grades K-12. Multiple techniques and approaches are necessary with each student/client in a variety of settings. Specifically, play therapy techniques are key at the grade school for helping students with lower communications skills process trauma and build socialization skills, group work is imperative at the pre-teen/young teen level to build interpersonal and empathy skills, and individual counseling sessions for older students are vital to help process complex challenges and emotions so they can reach their goal of graduating. These interventions, paired with district-wide prevention/intervention/crisis management approaches, case management services, mediation techniques, collaboration with interdisciplinary team members, work to build community resources, and building advocacy skills for vulnerable, oppressed and other high risk groups are just some of the opportunities an intern would need to be excited about.

Wishing Well Counseling Center

Website: https://wishingwellcounselingcenter.com/
Location: Suffolk, Virginia
Country: United States
Description:
Wishing Well Counseling Center embraces the creative therapies. We have multiple licensed art and play therapists on staff, and other clinicians who have been trained in play therapy and sand tray therapy. These treatment modalities are particularly useful with those who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally or those who feel "stuck" in therapy. Most clients can benefit from these creative treatment approaches, but for those who do not feel comfortable embarking on this path, we also offer more traditional means of therapy.

For the treatment of trauma, we have therapists who are certified in Trauma-Focused CBT, which is a treatment modality used for childreen and teens ages 5-18 who have experienced trauma. In addition, we have therapists trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), which is clinically proven to treat PTSD.
Counseling is a general practice, and counselors (or "therapists") are trained in professional psychology, diagnostic issues, various treatment modalities, and individual, family, and group therapy techniques. Counseling addresses individual functioning as well as how individuals function in relationships. The focus is on emotional, behavioral, work, social, physical health, and school concerns people may face at various stages. Counselors assist their clients in coping with emotional, mental, and physical health issues to improve their overall wellness and sense of well-being. In addition, counselors help their clients resolve crises and other issues, as well as relieve feelings of distress associated with these things.

Counselors at Wishing Well Counseling Center have experience treating a wide range of disorders and populations. They have treated individuals with depression, Bipolar Disorder, other mood disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, identity and gender confusion, anxiety, trauma and stress-related disorders, substance abuse and other addictions, personality disorders, and sexual dysfunctions. The counselors here at WWCC have worked with individuals going through most life transitions, including divorce, marriage, break-ups, adoption, foster care, deaths and other losses, career issues, and transitions to other life stages.

Looking for assistance for more than just yourself? Many of our counselors provide couples/marriage counseling and/or family therapy too.

If you are struggling with substance abuse or know someone who is, we can help! We have therapists on staff who specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders.
