Introduction:

Dear Stone Corral School and Staff,

My name is Noelia Sanchez Hernandez, and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you as the new Triage Social Worker with TCOE Mental Wellness Services. My role within the school is to help students succeed by promoting social, behavioral, and emotional well-being. I am also available as a support to you since your daily interaction with students is so crucial.

As a Triage Social Worker, I am available to work closely with the students, parents/caregivers, community partners, and staff to help create a safe, healthy, and supportive learning environment for all students. I am able to meet with students individually or in small groups to provide interim counseling services, social/emotional support, or skill building in a variety of areas (i.e. comping skills, social skills, mindfulness). In addition, I am available to assist in community linkages for families struggling to meet basic needs.

I will be available to support Stone Corral on Tuesday's and Friday's. When students are on campus, you will likely see me in the classrooms doing classroom observations, participating in class activities, or pulling out students to provide support to them.

If you have a student or family whom you feel may need additional mental wellness support, please complete a referral form that are located in my box, or you can e-mail me directly in the e-mail listed below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I am very excited to join your school team and look forward to working with you to support the students and families of our school community.

Sincerely,

Noelia Sanchez Hernandez, ACSW
