Our School Social Worker is here to SUPPORT you!
From the desk of Mr. Zach Chaira, MSW:
Hello!
I am so pleased to be your School Social Worker here at the South Phoenix Campus.
That means while I am primarily a resource liaison for students and their families, I am also the go-to mental health professional on campus.
I've recently graduated from ASU, after spending about 5 years as a behavioral health technician (BHT), and am also a trained therapist.
I was born and raised here in the desert, am a new dad, a huge superhero nerd along with my wife, and a martial artist.
I look forward to a great year!
