About Our Team
CORE’s Wellness Team is focused on providing varied and accessible formats for students, parents, and staff to invest in the process of growth, especially in the face of hardships. Through intentional connections - whether in on-campus classes, personalized coaching sessions, informal enrichment activities, monthly outreaches, parent trainings, or staff discussions - the intent behind our work is to promote each community member’s capacity to navigate difficulties with insight, grace, and poise.
