SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SUPPORT & RESOURCES
Stafford County Public Schools (SCPS) continues to be committed to the social-emotional and physical health of all students. Any student in need of social-emotional support during these unparalleled and challenging times may email their school’s Counselor, Social Worker, Psychologist, or Nurse for virtual resources and to ask questions. The following link provides a list of the names and emails for these staff members (Staff List). Please note: Staff members are expected to respond within 24 hours on workdays; this does not include weekends, holidays, or non-work days; therefore, these resources should not be used for emergency situations. In the case of an emergency situation, please reach out to a trusted family member who may be able to provide immediate help.
