Social Worker Spotlight
by Kristen Licciardo, MSW, School Social Worker
Who is your school social worker? This is my eleventh year working as a school social worker. This is my eighth year at Robinson! I have been working as a social worker with children and families for 27 years. I attended California State University, Northridge and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development. I completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Southern California. I spent the early part of my career working with children and families in mental health settings, including residential treatment centers, day treatment programs, non-public schools, and outpatient therapy programs. In California, I also worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker doing private practice. I relocated to Northern Virginia in 2009 and have enjoyed living on the east coast with my husband and two children, one in middle school and one in high school! What does your school social worker do? I provide support to children and families in the areas of mental health, accessing community resources, basic needs, and special education. I partner with our school teams and counselors to ensure all students are achieving their full academic, social and emotional potential. What is Social Work Spotlight? I will highlighting anything and all social work related information…an inspirational story I have come across, a book I am reading, resources in the community, special events, etc… sometimes, just a great quote for the week!
The Student Services staff is here to help you in any way we can. Please note that students cannot leave class or lunch to see their counselor without an appointment and a pass. If they need assistance, we encourage them to email our Student Services staff to request an appointment. If there is an emergency, their teacher will call the subschool office for assistance.
