QCUSD Social Work
Our School Prevention Coordinators/Social Workers play a critical role in our schools. They help parents, students and school staff identify needs that interfere with learning and provide a variety of services to students to enhance their social-emotional well-being. The Coordinators work with families to increase parental engagement by bridging school, home and community so our students can be as successful as possible. In addition, our Coordinators provide school-wide prevention and intervention services in order to help raise awareness and education to the school community in topics such as substance abuse, mental health, and various behavior issues that disrupt the learning environment.
