Outreach specialist added to Liberty Elementary

SIOUX CITY – A Sanford Center outreach specialist has been added to Liberty Elementary School to help children with mental health, family and community issues.

The specialists bridge the gaps between home, school, law enforcement and social services, according to the Sanford Center website.

“Outreach Specialists are able to intervene before major problems occur,” according to the website. “They track academics, behavior issues, and most importantly, reach out to students and parents at their homes.”
