Social Work Services
The Gurnee School District 56 Social Work Program serves to improve the social-emotional component of a student's education. Social workers provide consultation, crisis intervention, and direct services at each school. Emphasis with students, individually and in groups, is on improving relationships, building self-esteem, coping with stress, and developing problem-solving skills. Social workers assist parents in effectively participating in their children's education and helping them utilize school and community resources.
