The Mosaic Outpatient School-Based Program has been in partnership with Hayward High School for nearly a full decade! Our current therapy team onsite includes Amber Keil, ASW, PPSC, Cristina Scott, Psy.D., and Julissa Navas, a clinical trainee from UC Berkeley who provides mental health services to students and families, including individual, group, and family therapy, as well as consultation and training to school staff and partners. Hayward High is rich with diversity and Hayward pride! The majority of students who attend Hayward High have a relative who also attended the school. We also have several school staff members who are alumni themselves. As such, the school has built strong relationships with families and the larger community, and it is a gift to us to be a part of it.
Mosaic staff has had the unique opportunity of being at the forefront of developing the Coordination of Services Team, with one of our clinicians facilitating the meeting up until 2020. We also had the privilege of bringing many trauma-informed resources to support student and staff wellbeing in partnership with the Kaiser Permanente Resilience Initiative for many years. Our staff has also been part of a larger collaboration to expand social-emotional curriculum resources district wide. Currently, we work to provide key insight into our students emotional and behavioral needs as we navigate the ongoing trauma of the pandemic. This can include classroom and staff presentations, consultation meetings with staff, and presentations for caregivers. Last month, we participated in HUSD’s parent power sessions by facilitating a workshop for more than 25 Hayward caregivers on the topic of Parenting Through the Pandemic and Beyond.
The words from a couple of our Hayward High School partners illustrate the quality of the partnership and collaboration we have created and deeply cherish:

The words from a couple of our Hayward High School partners illustrate the quality of the partnership and collaboration we have created and deeply cherish:
“Over the years it has been an invaluable program for our school, especially this year with the increase we have seen in anxiety, depression, and risk. Not just their counseling services, they have always gone above and beyond. They are reliable, dependable; it’s like a safety blanket knowing they are there. A lot comes up, and to have them available provides support and comfort knowing I can turn to them.”
“Our Seneca partnership is a major part of our school community. They are always helpful with situations and with information needed to help serve our school community better. They are always willing to collaborate on finding new ways, including Tier 1 supports, to help students and staff receive mental health support.”
We truly feel part of the school community and we have always been warmly welcomed as part of the Farmer family. We are proud of the work we do here on The Farm!
