Sarah is a second year MSW student and is completing her AmeriCorps service within the Alpine School District. She has helped many children, adolescents, and their families through times of grief and crisis. She has been a beacon of hope and assistance to both students and families.
When asked about her service Sarah said, "One of the biggest lessons I Have learned the last couple of month sis the power of validation. Many of the students I meet do not feel like anyone hears them or understands their problems. I have discovered that when I take the time to listen and validate students' concerns, worries, or circumstances, they feel more motivated to face whatever challenges they need to."
