We have more DASD Helpers on the podcast today! The first of a two part series, Sarah Brooks returns with several of her Prevention Specialist staff that work in the high school buildings: Matt McFadden, MSS, LCSW (Downingtown West High School), Jocelyn White, MEd, LPC, (Downingtown West High School) and Jennifer Stull, MA, LPC (STEM). We learn about the role Prevention Specialists play in their buildings, how they support students and when and for what parents can reach out to them for help. We also discuss trends they are seeing in students and how they help students during the school day. DASD is lucky to have such caring, supportive staff in their schools. Join us to learn more about these amazing helpers!
