Lincoln HOPE Program Info
Hello Howard Staff!
It was so good to meet most of you this past week. I am grateful for the warm welcome as a new staff member with a new agency at the school. Thank you for opening your school and playgrounds to me and the other Lincoln staff. I hope to collaborate with you all during this transition process to make sure I am supporting the students' and school needs as best I can and will keep you all in the loop when I settle into a space and begin to work with students.
A little bit more about me and what I do: I will be providing mental health support within the general education population as a therapist/counselor. I will provide services including individual therapy, groups, and in-class emotional and behavioral support. These services aim to improve students' social skills, coping skills, emotion regulation, sense of self, and focus and participation strategies. I also collaborate with teachers and staff to develop and implement positive emotional and behavioral support for students. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and the school!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My phone number is 510-919-6450 and my e-mail address is reybyrne@lincolnfamilies.org
See you at school!
