🌟 Meet Ms. Massey, Our Amazing School Social Worker and Mental Health Taskforce Co-Chair! 🌟
Ms. Massey says she chose social work because, “I knew I wanted to help people, and social work allows me to support not just individuals, but their entire network. My passion for school social work comes from working directly with students — it’s truly my favorite part of the job!” 💙
She believes mental health is critical, especially in schools. Our students deserve to feel safe both mentally and physically every single day. When they feel supported, they can thrive and truly enjoy their time as students. 🧠💪
