SMH Spotlights is a recognition initiative that celebrates the outstanding work of LAUSD Psychiatric Social Workers (PSWs) across the District. Through nominations submitted by principals, teachers, school staff, administrators, families, and fellow PSWs, this program highlights the dedication, compassion, and impact that PSWs have on students, families, and school communities every day.
Each spotlight shares the unique contributions of a nominated PSW, showcasing innovative practices, meaningful relationships, leadership, advocacy, and commitment to supporting student mental health and well-being. By recognizing these efforts, SMH Spotlights aims to elevate the visibility of school mental health services, celebrate professional excellence, and inspire connection and learning across our school communities.
We invite you to explore the stories of our featured PSWs and join us in recognizing the individuals who help make schools healthier, more supportive places for all students. Check out our highlighted PSWs!
