Hello! My name is Savannah Taylor and I am the Wellness Coach at OES. I am so excited to be a part of this school, and to have the opportunity to care for your children! I personally feel like I have the BEST job in the whole school. I love the students here, and am fully committed to helping them succeed as students and individual people.
What is a Wellness Coach?
The services I provide are designed to empower students and their families by providing them with education and resources that will benefit their overall wellbeing. These services include classroom SEL lessons, support groups, short term counseling, crisis intervention, support meetings, and referrals to outside services.
The Importance of Social Emotional Learning
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which students acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions. This helps students set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. SEL can be a significant part of a student’s overall education. Targeting the development of these skills can help prepare students for a productive future.
