Ms. Millicent Griffin - Social Worker (Send e-mail)

Hello, my name is Millicent Griffin. I am one of the new social workers at Oak Lawn Hometown Middle School (OLHMS) in Oak Lawn, Illinois. I have just completed my Masters at the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois in Chicago. I completed my internship with ECHO Joint Agreement- Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program.That was an exciting placement for me and I believe that it has enhanced my skills to be a successful addition to OLHMS.
I will see your child for either individual social work sessions or group social work sessions, depending on what has been written in their IEP.

I am also available to students who do not have an IEP. If at any time you feel your child is dealing with issues outside of school and manifesting behaviors in school because of those issues, please feel free to contact me and I am pleased to be of service to your child as well.

I look forward to working with your child in developing their social skills, coping mechanisms, anger management, and/or any other issues, topics or concerns that may arise that warrants their need to converse with a social worker.
I will work closely with your child's teachers to ensure that they are reaching their educational potential to their best ability. I look forward to working with you to ensure that you have the resources or assistance that will help you encourage your child in becoming a successful student.

If at anytime, you need to contact me, please fill free to call me at 708-499-6400 extension 7966. Or you may email me at mgriffin@d123.org.

I believe this will be a great and exciting year, and I look forward to meeting and talking with you soon.
