What does a PSW do?
The primary role of a PSW is to provide student mental health services. We work alongside students, families, and teachers to help our Challengers develop healthy social-emotional skills so they can reach their life goals! 
 
How does a student see a PSW?
  • Administrative, staff, or teacher referral
  • Family referral
  • Referral by a friend
  • Student self-referral
Fill out a referral at bit.ly/mdhs-psw or visit us in the Library!
 
We ALL have mental health and we are to help!
