The goal of every FCPS school social worker is to make sure every student can succeed. They assess and address social, emotional, and behavioral factors that may stand in the way of students learning and doing their best. 

Helping Students Feel They Belong at School

At Robinson Secondary School, one of the responsibilities of Social Worker Christyn Levy is sponsoring the Our Minds Matter (Rams Minds Matter) club. Our Minds Matter seeks to create a teen-led movement to change the culture around mental health. The club aims to change the culture at their school around mental health by creating space for conversations, leadership, activities/meetings, and campaigns to promote social connectedness, increase prosocial skills, practice self-care and healthy habits, and increase help-seeking.

“Christyn Levy’s dedication shines through her work with Rams Minds Matter,” said Robinson Principal Tracey Phillips. “Thanks to their efforts, the Calm Cafe has become a safe space where students can recharge, connect, and find support when they need it most.”

Robinson’s Calm Cafe is a sensory-safe place for students to visit during their lunch period. Students can hang out in comfy chairs while accessing calming strategies like fidgets, games, and coloring books.
