Mrs. Joanna Karibian
Hello! My name is Joanna Karibian and I am the School Social Worker proudly serving Patriots STEM Elementary School full time since 2021. I have been working for the CCS school system for three years and have over fourteen years' experience as a social worker. I am originally from Long Island, New York but moved to North Carolina with my family in 2016. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Human Services and my Master in Social Work from New York University.
As a School Social Worker, my goal is to serve as a liaison between home, school, and community to help students and families overcome obstacles in order to reach their full potential. Some of the services I provide include but are not limited to: crisis intervention, individual/group counseling, case management, parent education, family outreach, information/referrals to community resources, attendance monitoring/intervention, and McKinney-Vento/homeless education support. A detailed list of services are listed on the CCS School Social Work department website.
