SUMMER WILLIAMS, LMSW
I’m so excited to be joining the Communities In Schools Wellness Program at Memorial High School this year, and I cannot wait to meet the Mustangs!
What I Do: As a Wellness Counselor, I’ll be available throughout the school day to provide emotional and crisis support or referrals for needed services on a walk-in basis. I’m also available to meet with students and parents more regularly if you’re going through something difficult and need some help getting through it.
For more about me and my background, click here. But stop by the wellness suite in AQUA 101 and say "hey" in person (once we are back on campus). Can't wait to meet you!

Hi, Mustangs!
I CANNOT WAIT to meet y'all!
It's going to be a school year like we've never experienced, but I am here and ready to help all of us make sense of it, and have some fun while we're at it. I've gotten really into Tik-Tok dances lately and love music -- and I have a feeling you are too :) I think some Tik-Tok challenges might be in our future!

* It's important to note that the Wellness Counselors do not diagnose conditions of any sort. As licensed social workers, they are on campus to listen and offer support. If they feel a student or parent would be better served with a particular type of support that is outside of their scope or is in need of a diagnosis -- they access the vast and varied Communities In Schools resource partnership network to connect students and parents to someone who can diagnose, provide the best care and/or step in the right direction.

student testimonials
Now that Memorial has Wellness Counselors on campus, I can't imagine Memorial without them. They do so much for us.
They helped me out and gave me the biggest hug... emotionally. For the first time, I felt like I was worth it.
Being a part of the girls lunch group has given me confidence and I'm so happy to have met new people.
Before the Wellness Counselors were here, school was pretty miserable for me. I am so glad I have people who listen to me and validate me.
