Welcome to the Wellness Center!

The Wellness Center welcomes all students. It is a safe place to go where our school Social Worker is available to provide support services to students, on an appointment basis. The center is open to all students before school, during break, lunch and after school, so we encourage you to stop by and visit during those times.

We would like to thank the CUHSD Education Foundation for their recent generous grant. It will help our center provide additional support materials and an even more comfortable space for our students.

Wellness Center Social Worker - Katie Taylor

Katie Taylor

About Ms. Taylor: "I am the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #134634) at Del Mar High School's Wellness Center. I obtained my B.A. and M.A. in Social Work and have my PPSC, all from SJSU. I was raised in Santa Clara and have lived in the CUHSD boundaries for over 25 years.

I love working with youth, celebrating their independence and increased responsibility, and helping them navigate the sometimes challenging emotions and experiences that come with adolescence.

I enjoy having an active home. My spouse and I have three adult children (CUHSD graduates) and are caregivers for two elementary aged children. We are foster volunteers for the Humane Society and Pets in Need, which fills our home year-round with kittens and puppies. I enjoy spending time outside, working in the garden or sitting on the patio, completing a puzzle.

The Wellness Center is open during school hours for drop-in support, community resource assistance, and counseling. Stop by the Wellness Center (located next to the gender neutral bathroom) or e-mail me at [email protected] for more information about available supports."

Ms. Taylor's Alma Maters: B.A. and M.A. in Social Work and PPSC - San Jose State University.
