Martina has been the most impactful mental health therapist in the school's history. She has recently eclipsed her previous sessions with students from the last school year in the first 6 months of this school year. Martina is often the first person in the office and the last to leave- this combined with her passion to helping and advocating for students and their mental health is without a doubt worthy of thorough consideration for this award.

Dear Wellness Team, I appreciate all that you do for the school. It's such a nice feeling to know that there is a safe place on campus to go to when you don't feel great or you just need a break. When I had a bad day it was such a relief to be able to sit in a room with kind people who made me feel like I was going to be ok. Thank you for everything that you do, I hope you have a great day :)

My daughter has been to Sobrato's wellness center several times. She says she likes going because it helps her destress. She likes the art activities and the occasional snacks. She said both counselors are nice and helpful. She has some special needs/learning disabilities that increase her anxiety about school so I'm happy there is a place that she can go. I really appreciate that Sobrato has this program to help with students' mental health needs.

Sobrato has been a terrific experience for our son. We chose b etween it and Santa Teresa because his father and I each live in different districts and we couldn’t be happier with the choice. The teachers are supportive, the staff has been very communicative and we have been very impressed with the feeling of safety that the school provides. Thank you for everything you do.

Both of my children are returning in person from home studies this year. The wellness center has provided them a comfortable resting place when they are feeling overwhelmed. Ruby, our family appreciates you.

The wellness center and its staff have supported my child as he transitioned to the high school. We appreciate that this is a service offered at the high school and that our kids feel comfortable using it. Thank you.

My daughter experienced a pretty severe bout of depression during COVID and struggled to get out of bed. Through meeting with Martina and working through everything, she has since been able to increase her social support, get a job, and greatly improve her academic performance. The support she received from the Wellness Center was so vital for her to move forward.
- Parent (November, 2022)

Martina and team make themselves available to listen and talk when my child is feeling stressed or having difficulty dealing with their emotions.
- Parent (November, 2022)

The most helpful aspect of having the Wellness team at our site is the extra bodies to handle socioemotional needs. My team has been able to accomplish significantly more, participating and engaging with more students and families. I finally feel (after nearly 20 years) that I am doing a good job and my job. Thanks to the wellness center.
