Testimonials

We are working with a lot of students that have OCD, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Being able to help each student also allows me to reflect on myself. Not only am I teaching them important lessons, but I am also learning it myself too and applying it to my own life.

Rachel Gallagher

Mental Health Associate, Lynchburg South Campus

One of the ways I make an impact on my students’ lives is by being a safe space for them. I try to always let them know that I am there for them no matter what they are going through. I make sure to try and give them access to all the things that they need to be successful throughout the day.

Anthony Fleming

Mental Health Associate, Fredericksburg Campus

The community we have built is my favorite thing about my job. We have a very veteran group at Lynchburg South. It is very important to have a support network at a very difficult job where we can make each other laugh, but also help each other through hard situations. It makes a difference knowing that you are with a trusting community.

Andrew Edwards

Special Education Teacher, Lynchburg South Campus

I really love to see a student’s progress, development, and growth right in front of me. We get to see the fruits of our labor collectively and I think it is important to celebrate that.
