What do you like best about Shelf?

I am a school social worker and I use Shelf regularly for resources posted by a school social work association. I typically utilize the Social Emotional Learning, Trauma Informed Care, and Mental Health folders. I really appreciated the quick upload of COVID-19 resources to the website back in March! I find Shelf well-organized and user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

I wish there were more practical tools to use with students. For example, templates, such as a biopsychosocial template. It would also be nice to be able to network, or consult with other school social workers on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shelf solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been able to provide more structural or systemic organization at my school with the guidance of Shelf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
