- Thank you to new subbie and social work undergrad AlmaLulu for requesting this video on school social work…Many think that in order to help kids in schools you have to become a school counselor-NOT the case- School social workers actually have more time and flexibility to work with students one on one on various mental health and social issues. We pick up where other school staff leave off to serve each student anti their family!
If you have any more questions please ASK away!!! FYI most school social workers are required to have a Master’s in Social Work and be licensed in the state in which they are working.

Yay! I'm so happy to have come across your channel! (aspiring school social worker here) I am a BSW holder and have work in the school setting as a site coordinator, which I love! ...I hope to start grad school soon to begin my journey as a school social worker. Thank you so much for you channel, it's so inspiring!
I will be starting my first year as a school social worker next week! Thank you for your channel. ♥️
Christie N great news!! Good luck to you and as always let me know if I can help a fellow social worker out in any way ✨
I love your channel. I have been looking for other social workers that do what I do. I find many guidance counselor videos but not many social workers. I actually work for a mental health agency but my office is at the school. Please keep making videos!
Ooooo I am very interested in your work, mental health in the schools! Sounds thrilling!!! I agree, not many social workers out there making videos...I'm glad you are enjoying my baby channel :)
I just found your channel and I love it already! I am in school to get my BSW now, and hope to get an MSW to become a school social worker one day as well. I'm looking forward to binge watching all of your videos!! :]
You can have your bsw and work in a school setting if you want to work in a hospital environment then u need your msw
Lmao the music is soo 2010s UA-cam.. I love it!!
Also great video overall, thanks for creating and sharing it ❤️❤️
Hey there. I am new to your videos and I have been soaking them all up. I finish my bsw this year and I started searching for msw programs with a school social work focus after finding your channel. I didn't fully know what area of social work would be the best fit for me until watching your videos. I have strongly considered school social work in the past but watching your channel confirmed it is the right direction for me, and the area I feel I will be the most useful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and insights!
I have to pick my National 5's and this really helped me to realise I should be a social worker and help LGBTQ kids such as myself in schools
♥️💕💕 Thank you
I want to thank you for the tips and all of thr helpful information. With the information i learned from your channel, i accepted a school social work position with one of the school districts in my city. Im very grateful, thanks.
You are a rockstar Zandra! I hope you are enjoying it :))) School social work jobs are highly coveted!
Have you noticed any backlash from school counselors after showing this video? I would like to show this video in the high school that I work. But I don’t want to offend the school counselors. A lot of the school counselors do social/emotional counseling at my school. I think this video is super important and does clarify a lot. I went back to school after working years as a graphic designer and chose an MSW over a school counseling program because I knew that I didn’t want to do scheduling and grades. Plus I also knew that if I lost my job and had my LCSW I could work anywhere in any clinic or hospital.
+Rachel Zavertnik Thanks, I am absolutely humbled and grateful that you are hoping to share my video, I think there is a lot of misconceptions and and misunderstanding regarding the roles of a school counselor. I often educate my students and families about the differences in professions (counselor, LPC, LCSW, etc). And you are correct there are many school counselors holding an LPC that are comfortable working with social and emotional issues. The video was made to help others searching for the right avenues to a profession in schools...I’m glad you made your way to social work!
Your videos are SO helpful, I appreciate you for making them. I am about to start a new job as a school social worker. I'm really looking forward to it, but I am nervous- as I do not have any school SW experience.
Loved this!! I am interested in becoming a school social worker! :)
Go for it! Let me know if you have any questions I can answer!
This video just helped me so much! Thank you for this and you have a new subscriber!
Your talk was very helpful for because I am a retired social worker who want to start a school social work 100 hours probono to a government school with no school councilor & a high rate of failure in their grate 10-12. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness that you for your channel I'm starting my 2nd year of college and I don't know which aspect of this field I want to go into yet these videos are helping me alot
glad they are helping, that was exactly my reason for making them. Let me know if you have any questions...I would love to help you out any way I can!
Hi! I just discovered your channel (via your Instagram account 😂). Thank you so much for posting videos like this. I'm a current student that's majoring in Social Work and I'd like to be a Social Worker after college. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel! Really helpful and informative!
Cool what's your IG and I'll follow you back... hope my channel helps! I'm looking to make video specifically for BSW students ... coming soon ✨
+Social Work Scrapbook its @batmanissuperior. Thanks for the reply and I'm looking forward to that video!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have an ambition to become a school social worker. This video helped me better understand the duties of a social worker in the public schools.
What type of assessments do you usually do, if any (e.g., BASC, Conners, ABAS)?
In one district that I interviewed in there was a whole hallway of social workers but not one school psych (either on the MA or Ed.S. level). I assumed that a couple of the social workers did whatever cognitive and achievement assessments that a school psych would do (again, on the MA & Ed.S level) in that particular school.
you seem so nice I got in a fight after a girl was bullying me on school property I hit Frost I didn't come to school for the next two days and the first day a sheriff came I didn't open the door and then the next day a social worker left there card on my door
Such a great video. This puts a lot of things into perspective for me.
Great video!
Can a school social worker holding an LCSW expect to make? Especially starting out?
Lets say, there's someone who loves helping kids and very concerned about there home lives and offering all the help you could give. Okay. But the one who's interested in all of this has anxiety herself/himself, and it's severe, how can that person deal with it and get better. Especially if he or she is an introvert.
I just subscribed. I'm very interested in becoming a school social worker.
Great!! Hopefully my videos help- please ask me anything you want to know about the profession!
Thank you for this !
How do you deal with schools assignments that have high concentrations of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, etc) along with socioeconomic disparities?
Reports to child protection must be made, followed by close collaboration with child protection,family and community resources. My district provides emergency food or clothes that can assist in building rapport with families in high socioeconomic need.
Hii, i found this video very helpful! i am a current college student figuring out whether to do school counseling or school social worker and with how i want to help kids and the youth, this video made things click better. I guess my struggle now is in figuring out what the best bachelors program to take is. some recommend psychology while others a BSW or something in education and it is troubling. Although i know a bachelors in education is more for the counseling field. So i was wondering what do you recommend is the best for the youth/school social work field?
+Jenny roldan I bachelors in social work will get you to your goal quickly (less than 4years) but any bachelors in psychology, sociology , educational psychology or humanities will work!! You Typically need a masters in social work to be a school social worker - good luck and let me know if I can clarify anything for you!
Social Work Scrapbook thank you! another question I have is what would you consider difficult in your career ? are there any tough points that u should be aware of and/or obstacles I may face? each person I mentioned that I'm gonna go into this career told me it's gonna be a difficult road and or a stressful road. now that's something that is okay with me because this is something I really want to do but I want to know what to expect along the way as well and what to prepare for.
+Jenny roldan great question... I heard many of the same warnings.... I would not consider the following difficult but they can be viewed that way by others - burnout and home visits. The content of what you will hear from clients (children and families) can be burdensome- for many reasons this is why burnout is common in the field of social work. As far as home visits, this concept scared many folks, venturing into homes that are in need and meeting the client where they are at can be seen as difficult. It can take some getting used to. This is a wonderful video idea... look out for vid on this in the coming weeks✨
Social Work Scrapbook thank you! :)
very interesting thank you so much
Great video
Thanks!! 💖
Very informative! Thank you
Question: if you had a choice to go back and do a BSW would you? or would you have stuck it with Psychology? or would you do both? I know that I want to get an MSW in the future. However, I am currently a Psychology major. I go to NCSU that also has a great program in SW, so I am trying to decide the best path for me!
stuck it out ***
If I could go back in time - I would not change a thing. For me...Psychology provided me a well rounded education. I believe my strengths in research and psychological disorders come from the courses I took as a psych major. The best path for you may be different...I would consider how important it is for you to finish quickly- One year of Grad school is pretty tempting...
How dificult is get a job as social worker??
To be a school social worker, what degree plan do you recommend ? MSW? Anything in the education field
You will need a Master's in Social Work ( MSW) for sure...but you can get an undergrad degree in just about anything. I had a BA in Psychology and Minor in Educational Psychology
I am a first year student doing BSW and i have a presentation about a school social work. Can i get any help
What certificate do you need for school social work?
In Texas - all you need is a license masters in social work...other states differ
In NJ, you need to have MSW & appiled for a school social work certification.
It's my first week on placement as social worker in a high school must say i'm nervous.
How is your placement going?! I also had a second year placement at the high school level, challenging stuff! Let me know if you have any questions I can answer! :)
i will definitely, i also sent you a little message on instagram. I'm the student from Barbados
God blesses those who bless others! C God in Google!!
Hi there, I sent you a dm on IG. I have a few questions about the career. Thanks! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
+Donna Valiente yes! Thanks for the questions...perhaps I can make a day in the life of a school social worker
