• The Wellness Center is a safe place where everyone is accepted. It is a place where anyone and everyone is heard and can speak up. Love what everyone in the staff does in there and not enough people show appreciation. Thank you so much for helping me and other students. :)

• Ms. Martina is a wonderful person to have around. She is kind, knowledgeable, respectful and understanding. Without her assistance, identifying and understanding mental health concerns would be much more difficult. Her assistance is always a helpful one. Ms. Ruby is the best! Seeing her either around campus or in the administration building is an absolute delight every time. She has always had a warm and caring atmosphere about her, and even just a brief good morning always makes my day. Thank you both for all your hard work, it has not gone to waste by any means.

•  I haven't directly used the Wellness Center, but I did have the opportunity to sit at the Wellness Center tables with my friends during the work time given to us by one of my teachers. Although I never had an incentive to go there I definitely do think that it is a supportive system for many kids if they are looking for help on campus.

But I have heard that the Wellness Center is a great, welcoming, and comfortable place to be if you are in need of anything - big needs or small needs. Although I haven't been to the Wellness Center, I do feel confident to come there because I know it is a welcoming and comfortable place to be when I am in need of support.

​

• I have been in the Wellness Center before and it’s a wonderful place. The people that are there are very wonderful and kind. I feel that the people that are there are very understanding but personally I would not go there just simply because I don’t like talking to anyone about how I feel or about my problems.

• 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 center team, I am thankful for your organization that opened up this year. It's been very helpful and you guys helped create a safe place fo r students at sobrato. So thank you.

• 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.

  • Parent (November, 2022) 

  

• 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.

  • Parent (November, 2022)

​

• 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.

  • Parent (November, 2022)

​

• 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.

  • Parent (November, 2022)

​

• 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.
