School Mental Health Consultation
Finding Hope provides targeted consultation to schools and districts across Colorado to support the development and enhancement of comprehensive school mental health strategies. As mental health needs continue to increase in the lives of Colorado’s students, Sarah aims to deliver a service that will both meet these needs, but also focus on prevention and promotion of positive mental health for all students and school staff.
Through close collaboration with district and school leadership, as well as mental health teams, Sarah provides overall strategic planning for mental health strategies, prioritization, and evaluation of these efforts based on evidence-based best practices.
In addition to district- and/or school-wide system evaluation and planning, she offers specific consultation in the implementation of universal social emotional screening, trauma-informed practices, and school staff wellness. She also provides reflective, trauma-informed supervision to school personnel to enhance these practices in and out of the classroom.
"Sarah has the ability to pick up pretty quickly on the core of the concern and work on goals to solve those issues specifically.”
