Verenice has been an educator and school counselor for 20+ years in the San Diego region. Her experience working with thousands of kids in education (and in their own environments) has given her the edge in truly understanding the “whole child” and their social emotional needs.
We recognize that parent engagement is crucial for a child’s success. Our services include Family Circles and tailored parenting workshops are designed to strengthen that family-school partnership, empowering families to take an active role in their child’s education and well-being.
Our Empowerment Groups and student-centered programs are crafted to foster self-esteem, resilience and wiser decision-making skills. All, skills that can help improve the school experience, ultimately reducing absenteeism and keeping kids engaged in their learning.
Creating a positive, safe and inclusive school environment is a central goal of our programs. We provide coaching groups, family circles and even staff empowerment workshops. All, aimed at enhancing emotional well-being and strengthening relationships within the school community. Let us help foster a more inclusive and welcoming school climate for everyone.
