SOBRATO WELLNESS CENTER

Reviews

We love our community!!! <3

The wellness center is an essential service for our students and community. When students are consumed with worry or trauma their brains are not able to take in the information to learn. Wellness goes hand in hand with learning. We need this service. - Parent, January 2024

It's a really great place and I believe it helps students who need it. - Student, January 2024

Seeing the Wellness Counselor was very beneficial for my son. He had some issues at his prior school that the counselor from there shared with the Wellness Center at Sobrato, so he could continue getting support. You are doing a great job, please continue your work, so many young people need support these days. - Parent, January 2024

Our experience working with Ms. Martina and Ms. Ruby has been wonderful. They were a great support system for my daughter when she returned to in person school. She graduated high school and I believe the support from these two wonderful ladies was a big aid in helping achieve the finish line. These wonderful ladies at the Wellness Center really helped my daughter and I will forever be grateful. Thank you, I appreciate you both. - Parent, January 2024

You all are amazing and the support you provide all of us is priceless! - Teacher, January 2024

You are both awesome & I honestly don't know how we could serve our students without the Wellness Center! - Teacher, January 2024

I so appreciate the essential work you do for our students, our staff, and our larger community. - Teacher, January 2024

Keep up the good work! - Teacher, January 2024

You are both amazing. - Teacher, January 2024

Thank you so much for everything you do! I know so many students who appreciate the Wellness Center as a space to relax, be themselves, recuperate, take a break, feel heard, etc. I think you make our school a better, more loving and welcoming place and a place that is more conducive to learning because kids can feel more peace. - Teacher, January 2024

The Wellness Center on Sobrato's campus operates very well. Thank you for all of your hard work. - Teacher, January 2024

The Wellness Center is an incredibly useful tool for our school. I cannot imagine what the school would look like without a space for students to access to settle down, or to decompress from the typical stressors of everyday academics. The Wellness staff are always responsive to adults and students alike. I know the WC staff would be even more accommodating to our community if given the access to be more available. - Teacher, January 2024

Thank you so much for all that you do to support our students! - Teacher, January 2024

Y'all are great and I am so happy you have this space and resources for our campus! - Teacher, January 2024

You are doing a great job. I can see a great improvement in students, when they come back from the Wellness Center. - Teacher, January 2024

Thank you for supporting our students and campus with grace and compassion and your amazing dedication!! - Teacher, January 2024

I think you are all doing a fantastic job! Keep up the great work! Thank you for everything you do! Our campus is better because students and teachers have a safe place to get their emotional and mental health needs addressed! - Teacher, January 2024

You are doing a terrific job. - Teacher, January 2024

I love the idea and how it is being used on this campus. I think we dodge behavior issues because they are prevented because of early intervention. I'm a fan. - Teacher, January 2024

It's great to have a Wellness Center on campus, thanks for providing some important forms of support for our students! - Teacher, January 2024

You are such a valuable part of our school. Thank you for everything you do! - Teacher, January 2024

You both rock and thank you for being kind and a place for students to come to and be safe. - Teacher, January 2024

I'm grateful for the sense of kindness and support that our Wellness Center staff bring to our campus. Grateful to have you here and hopeful that the integration to our overall Guidance Center is further clarified and made permanent. - Teacher, January 2024

My son has had a very difficult semester. He felt safe and cared for by Ms Martina. She is so loving and caring. She even called me (the mom) to talk about my son and met with me multiple times. I am so thankful my son had the wellness center, otherwise I am not sure he would have survived being at school. You are doing an outstanding job. - Mom, June 2023

The Wellness Center staff and the center itself have been so instrumental on campus! I truly appreciate all you do for our school community. THANK YOU. - Teacher, June 2023

You guys are amazing. Sending you love and positive vibes. - Teacher, May 2023

I really enjoyed the wellness center this school year, please keep it open for other students to enjoy :) - Student, May 2023

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. :) - Student, May 2023

The Wellness Center helped me open up to people :) - Student, May 2023

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. - Student, May 2023

I love that students feel good about going to Wellness. You are all doing a wonderful job. I also have absolutely loved the animals on campus. More of those days would be great. You are amazing!!!! - Teacher, May 2023

I am so grateful for you and the Wellness Center and everything that you do for students!! And I love the painting and the glitter tube that students have given me!!

I like going there at lunch sometimes to quietly work on stuff. Yah, people there are chill.
- Senior (May 2023)

I like the Wellness Center, my experience with the Wellness Center was good. I do feel confident coming to the Wellness Center during school hours.
- Senior (May 2023)

I have been there and it was prity good. They are Ezzy to talk to. - Senior, May, 2023

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. - Senior, May 2023

I went over when I was struggling with AP Stats. It was soothing when I was struggling with AP stats. - Senior, May 2023

I have not used the Wellness Center, but I like how they bring out bubbles once in a while.
- Senior (May 2023)

It was a very calming experience. The people there are very welcoming and wonderful.
- Senior (May 2023)

I’ve used the Wellness Center before. It was very good, peaceful and calming. It is very safe and has a good environment, and there are always people to talk to.
- Senior (May 2023)

I've used the wellness center in the past, it definitely helped me calm down and gather myself before getting back to working in class. I know they will help and care for me.
- Senior (May 2023)

I have used the Wellness Center in the past and it is very beneficial. I still use it today. I feel confident about coming to the Wellness Center when I need support because I am not afraid to get help and talk to people when I need help.
- Senior (May 2023)

I have used the Wellness Center a lot when I'm overwhelmed or having problems. All of it was good experiences, I'm very glad it exists. Everyone there is very sweet, and helpful.
- Senior (May 2023)

I have not used the Wellness Center in the past. 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.
- Senior (May 2023)

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.
- Senior (May 2023)

I do feel confident about coming to the Wellness Center. I honestly do because everytime I pass there, there's always some positive energy.
- Senior (May 2023)

The Wellness Center gives me a place to organize my thoughts.
- Senior (May 2023)

They have a welcoming presence.
- Senior (May 2023)

I do feel confident reaching out for help because I feel that the staff is very supportive.
- Senior (May 2023)

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.
- Academic counselor (March 2023)

Hi Ms. Martina, you are the best school counselor in like ever. Please don't ever quit (unless you have something that takes priority). I manifest extra crunchy leaves for you to step on next fall.

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.

Counselor’s who run the wellness center. I’m thankful for all you always being there for me when I need someone most. I appreciate you all.
- Student (November 2022)

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.
- Student (November 2022)

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.
