Introducing Jessi Morgan and Winnie the Pooch

Hi there! My name is Jessi Morgan, and I am the new Middle and Upper School Director of Wellness here at Trinity School of Midland. And yes, I am the lady with the dog, Winnie the Pooch!
 
Winnie and I are so excited to be part of the community here at Trinity—I have heard such wonderful things about the school as well as the community and feel extremely grateful to be a part.
 
I have had the privilege of meeting almost all of your children through Middle School Bootcamp, lunch duty, and chatting in the hallways. I aim to be highly visible in the school and available for your child. Students can make appointments to come see me or stop by when needed. I encourage parents and guardians to reach out to me with any concerns they may have. 
 
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have more than 10 years of experience as a social worker in the Permian Basin. When I am not working you can often find me (and Winnie!) serving as a Disaster Mental Health Volunteer with the American Red Cross, or facilitating online grief groups through HealGrief: Actively Moving Forward. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoy my field and am passionate about supporting the mental health of those within our community, especially children and families.

My primary goal is to support students so that every student can reach their full potential and achieve academic and personal success. To accomplish this the Wellness Program focuses on the social, emotional, and developmental needs of every student.

Some of the interventions I utilize to accomplish these goals include:
  • Immediate Student Support: For students that may be having a tough day, have a problem, or experiencing something difficult in their life they may come to my office to connect individually as needed through student, parent, or teacher referral.  
  • Campus-Wide Programs: We will use times such as Mental Health Month to provide campus-wide information and/or events!
  • Referrals: Referrals to additional support services
  • Groups: As needed I can provide group lessons based on topics and activities that can benefit a group of students. Lesson units could include areas such as grief, self-control, conflict resolution, feelings, coping skills, kindness, and more.
  • Win At Social and Advisory Lessons: Curating Win At Social and advisory lessons that focus on areas of social, emotional, academic, and career development.  (Don’t forget that guardians also have access to Win At Social through the Health and Wellness resource box on MyTrinity!)
 
 
I maintain an "open door" policy to provide support for all students, please do encourage your child to stop by if they can benefit from my services. On my door your students can always find monthly tips, resources, and coloring/winddown sheets! 

You or your child can also find mental health resources on MyTrinity by clicking the “health and wellness” tab.
 
If your child is struggling at school, or at home, please feel free to reach out, or encourage them to stop by my office (Room 634). Winnie also always welcomes pets between classes! Please feel free to contact me anytime at 432-697-3281 Ext. 8634 or jmorgan@trinitymidland.org.
 
Looking forward to a great year ahead,

Jessi Morgan
