Rose Weima

School Counselor

Who is Rose?

Every child deserves emotional wellbeing.

In a world that is fast paced and sometimes unforgiving for students, schools need to focus on what it means to be well as a human being. Social emotional support is proactive, strategic and reactive when necessary. My role in schools is to ensure all stakeholders have access to the resources and learning they require to lead, happy, healthy and well balanced lives. Don’t just take a chance that students are well, plan for it! 

Wellbeing is a community effort. It takes a village! Rose Weima
