The Wellness Center
The Wellness Center is staffed by two school social workers, Lauren Kremer and Brianna Pennant
What does the Wellness Center offer?
Two school social workers who focus on school-related concerns and strategies to get students back in the classroom and ready to access their education.
A space for students to regulate and connect with others.
Quiet Lunch.
Targeted social/emotional groups with 8-10 students that run for 6-week sessions.
A weekly new-student group to help with transition & form relationships.
What are the limitations of the Wellness Center?
We don't replace outside counseling needs
We refer students who need to discuss concerns that are greater than the school environment to outside providers.
We don't replace a student's relationship with their school counselor
The school social worker is available to meet with students who are in crisis and those whose counselor is unavailable, otherwise we encourage them to use their counselors first.
We don't allow students to avoid class
We ask thorough questions before allowing a student to stay beyond a few minutes of a class period. We work with students to identify barriers to get them back to the class.
