Social Work Services at WJHS and WHS

As a social worker for Waterloo CUSD #5, I provide individual, group, and crisis counseling services for adolescents, as well as consult with teachers and staff members, to help ensure that all of our students are successful in school and life.  I am also available to provide support for parents and to help families find outside resources when needed.

I split my time during the week between the High School and Junior High.  I can always be reached by email at bricke@wcusd5.net, and can be contacted by phone at WHS: 618-939-3455 ext 417 and at WJHS: 618-939-3457 ext 533.
