Nurse Beatrice came into my daughter’s life at a crucial moment. My daughter was an 8th grader last year, and she was continually going to the nurse’s office in the last few months of school, complaining of an upset stomach. Nurse Beatrice knew something bigger was at the core of the issue and provided a safe place for my daughter to share.

I’m so thankful that Beatrice reached out to me about her communications with her, as it helped my husband and me realize she needed professional help. Indeed, it was true. Her therapist said that she has never seen a worse case of anxiety in a 14-year-old, and we are all working with her to help her address these debilitating issues.

Nurse Beatrice is one of the most centered, beautiful human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and be the recipient of her grace, knowledge, skill, and kindness. I’m very grateful that she is the school nurse, especially since my son is now a 7th grader there and may need her help as well.
