Social Services Coordinator for Brandywine Heights Students and Families
The Brandywine Heights Area School District has a Social Services Coordinator who helps students and their families with problems outside the classroom that get in the way of learning. The coordinator works as a link between the school, students, families and the community, and collaborates with the counseling department to work out solutions for personal or family difficulties that affect students.
Inside school, the coordinator leads individual and group social skills lessons, develops targeted intervention plans, and partners with teachers and administrators so students can get the educational resources they need.
Outside school, the coordinator helps families handle life's challenges. That includes guiding families through health insurance applications, assisting with vision care needs, and offering resources to ease financial stress tied to housing and food insecurity.
The page also names resources and partners the coordinator draws on, among them Friend Inc., SAM (Service Access Management), BCIU Mental Health Resources for Parents, Helping Harvest, substance use resources and the Helping Harvest Maternal Health Program. Community partners include the Friends of Brandywine Education Foundation, the Longswamp Lions Club, the Fraternal Order of the Eagles and the Kutztown Hobo's (Helping Others Before Ourselves).
