ATTENTION PARENTS/GUARDIANS OF SCHOOL SOCIAL WORK COUNSELING STUDENTS:  PLEASE CHECK THE TAB LABELED SCHOOL CLOSURE RESOURCES UNDER MY NAME FOR ACTIVITIES. Just a reminder these activities are optional.    

My name is Cara Sanfilippo, I am the School Social Worker for Minersville Area School District.  Let me take the time to introduce myself to you.  I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2009 and in the Mental Health field since 2004.  I received my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology from Misericordia University and went on to the University of Scranton where I received my Master's in Community Counseling.  I have worked in a variety of settings, including residential treatment facilities, community settings, therapeutic day schools and partial hospitalizations programs.  I have a strong passion for working with students and helping them becoming the best versions of themselves.
