 Lisa Dennis, TCA Social Worker – ldennis@twincitiesacademy.org

Hello! My name is Lisa Dennis, I am a school social worker at Twin Cities Academy. I am committed to providing mental health services in the school system. I truly believe early identification and education of mental illness support for youth starts here, at school. I have worked in a school setting for nearly a decade. Prior to my current role, I worked as a school therapist in various districts throughout the Greater Twin Cities. I aspired to be a part of the TCA school board in order to properly advocate for our students and families, in order to help them achieve access to needed support and services.
