Common emotional difficulties that students experience include anxiety and fears, depression and feeling low as well as timidity and nervousness. School social workers are often a member of a crisis group at their school and take part in planning and implementing measures that are deemed necessary. They may also support an individual student who is in a crisis. There are practices related to how to ensure a safe and secure everyday life, which are drawn up for eventualities such as absences, bullying, violence, substance abuse and crisis situations. School social workers participate in the preparation, updating and application of them at school. School social workers cooperate actively with other employees working with children and young people, either in matters concerning individual students and families or more generally when assessing regional phenomena. Regional cooperation aims to promote the wellbeing of children and young people, to develop the services in the region and to prevent social problems from arising.
