MSW Field Profiles 2018-19

MSW Brielle Nagle 2018-2019 Agency Name: Northern Lebanon School District Profile: A school is the host setting for social workers in that field of practice. A school social worker offers mental health and support services to students and their families. Networking with other professionals and referral services on behalf of the students is required in order to produce beneficial practice outcomes on micro, mezzo and macro levels of practice. Field Placement Responsibilities: My responsibilities as the school social worker's intern at Northern Lebanon are hardly limited at all. My field instructor insists that I jump in to every task the same way I would if I were the actual school social worker. As a collaborative netowrk, we work on all homeless cases within the district and practice in respect to state and federal law requirements. I have been able to work one-on-one with students seeking guidance, have helped mediate student descripencies, and intervened in several crisis situations for individuals and families. Future Goals: I enjoy my field placement in a school district and I foresee myself pursuing my first MSW position in the school setting. However, I am open to trying another field of practice for my next field placement. Department of Social Work
