Happy School Social Work Week! We asked some of our Youth First Mental Health Professionals what part of their job brings them the most joy: “Connecting with the kids, giving them the space to share, and the feeling that I can be a trusted adult for them to come to. Everyone needs at least one trusted adult in their lives!” – Jordan Nonte, MSW, LCSW, Youth First Social Worker #youthfirst2025 #youthfirstmentalhealthprofessionals #SSWWeek2025 #schoolsocialworker

There are many academic, social and emotional benefits to having a trusted adult (such as a Youth First Mental Health Professional) in the school building for children to talk with.

We're celebrating all of our Youth First Mental Health Professionals this week, who are changing lives every day! We asked some of them what part of their job brings them the most joy. Holly Branam, MSW, LCSW, says: "Throughout my career, I've worked in various settings, but working as a school social worker is by far my favorite. I love the interactions that I have with students schoolwide - the hugs and smiles and hellos just walking down the hall make my day. I also love watching as things click into place for kids. Like when they work through a conflict and friendship is restored, let down a wall and decide to trust, or when they finally begin to believe in themselves - those are the moments I feel truly blessed to be a part of." Happy School Social Work Week to Holly and all of our Youth First Mental Health Professionals, who care for kids every day! #youthfirst2025 #youthfirstmentalhealthprofessionals #SSWWeek2025
