Manhattan Borough President to Host Virtual Town Hall on Need for Social Workers in Schools

 
On May 15 at 3:30 pm, Borough President Gale A. Brewer will moderate a town hall on the need for at least one social worker in every school. The virtual town hall is co-hosted by New York University's McSilver Institute and The Greater New York Chapter of The Links.

"As we prepare to safely re-open our schools and address the pandemic's traumatic impact, we must take our students' social and emotional development seriously by providing social workers to every student in need," said Brewer.

Panelists will include Council Member Mark Treyger, Chair of the NYC Council’s Education Committee, Jasmin Berrios, LCSW at the Partnership with Children, David Garza, President of the Henry Street Settlement, Hilary Kopple, LCSW, and Dr. Michael Lindsey, Executive Director of NYU’s McSilver Institute.
