One of the biggest challenges new school social workers face is navigating crisis situations with confidence. Graduate programs often teach theory, but the day-to-day reality of responding to student crises, de-escalating situations, and maintaining safety is something many professionals learn on the job.

This free sample chapter provides a glimpse into the practical, real-world approach used throughout The Practical School Social Work Guide.

In this chapter, you'll learn about:

• Your role during student crises
• De-escalation techniques
• Responding to student altercations
• Restorative practices and peer mediation
• Maintaining safety while protecting therapeutic relationships
• Practical tips from real school social work experience

If you find this chapter helpful, the full guide includes additional topics such as documentation, case management, FERPA vs. HIPAA, MTSS, School-Based Teams, attendance interventions, Social-Emotional Learning, advocacy, professional communication, and much more.
