What Our Principals Say...
"As an educator I know that the children who come to school carrying 'emotional baggage' care very little, or not at all, about learning. These are
the children whom we worry about the most. Outreach Concern has been a wonderful blessing for our school community. The counselors who work with the students, faculty, and parents are professional, dedicated, and
compassionate. They are able to effectively deal with the plethora of issues that confront our students today. The services of Outreach Concern truly enable us to 'educate the whole child.'"
Crystal A. Smith, Principal
SS Simon & Jude School, Huntington Beach
"On the Mater Dei campus, Outreach Concern has been tremendously successful. Their
response time to issues and crises is swift, their dedication is obvious, and their desire to help our young people is expressed with professionalism and care. We look forward to a continued successful relationship with them
in the future."
Father Steve Sallot, Past Rector
Mater Dei High School, Santa Ana
"The Outreach Concern counselors provide an invaluable service to the students, parents, and faculty of our school!
Not only do they counsel the students about their issues and concerns—from friendship issues to family issues such as divorce/separation, sibling conflicts, blended families to name a few, but they work with the teachers on
strategies to help the child experience success in the classroom. Outreach provides a multitude of support services to the school family; monthly newsletters on relevant topics, inservices for teachers, speakers for parent
meetings, and workshops for students. The cost of these services is very affordable. We are very happy with the services provided by Outreach Concern!"
Linda Wiley, Principal
Holy Trinity School, San Pedro
"Besides the day to day support for our students and their families, the Outreach Concern staff is excellent in emergency situations. I have experienced their immediate response to an emergency when I have
requested help. They are extremely professional in their business practices and always available to offer support and guidance."
Pat Prerost, Principal
St. Catherine Catholic School, Laguna Beach
"So many of our boys and girls now come to school with so many problems that they cannot be successful without some form of counseling. The Outreach Concern program goes above and beyond to meet the needs of our students and
their families."
Mary Wu, Principal
Pendleton Elementary School, Buena Park
"The counselors from Outreach Concern have contributed greatly to the academic and personal well being of our students and
families. We could not possibly pay for the services needed to provide for our population of 1,500 kindergartens through fifth grade students through any other resource. The counselors are able to help students cope
with the full range of family and personal issues present in today's complex, and at times, scary society. Thank you, Outreach, for five years of wonderful support for our children."
Kjell Taylor, Past Principal
Rio Vista Elementary/Placentia-Yorba Linda School District

available to our students and teachers as often as possible. We are very fortunate to have their services at our site. Our parents look to them for assistance in working with their adolescent sons."
Xavier Jimenez, Vice Principal
Bishop Mora Salesian High School, Los Angeles
"We have a student body of 600 students. Outreach Concern provides us with a counselor four days a week. For the fee we pay
it would be impossible for us to get these services -- even for one day a week . . . The students keep the counselors busy every day that they are here."
Sister Kathleen Callaway, Past Principal
St. Anthony School, San Gabriel
"Outreach Concern counselors offer the students at Topaz the opportunity to talk with an objective person who listens and cares about their concerns. Students who are experiencing
various types of adjustment issues such as: the death of a parent, divorce, problems getting along with peers or making friends, or other concerns which affect the child's ability to concentrate and succeed in school are offered
through Outreach Concern. The counselors have been an important 'safety net' for our students."
Kathy Kreil, Principal
Topaz Elementary School, Fullerton
"I don't know what we ever did before
Outreach Concern. What an excellent resource for our school! Their many services, including parent meetings and faculty inservices, are a blessing to our children, their families and our staff. The supervision of
the counselors is top notch and their immediate availability to us during crisis situations is invaluable."
Candice Kuzmickas, Principal
Holy Name of Mary School, San Dimas
"Outreach Concern has been a
blessing to our school. Their dedicated and caring staff, supports parents, teachers, staff and students, and are always willing to listen and assist in times of need. Outreach provides counselors that are a
professional, caring support for our school community. Students today live in such a complicated world. As the principal, I feel such relief to know that the families and I have Outreach Concern to support and counsel
us."

to more effectively network support and partnership for our school families, faculty, and staff."
Kathleen Falcone, Principal
St. Justin Martyr School, Anaheim
"Our community is one in which more families
are in crisis than is imaginable. Students are exposed to situations in their lives that children should never see or face. With the help of the Outreach Concern counselors, they are able to openly express their
feelings and concerns in life and find ways to get through each and every day. The Outreach Concern counselors give an unbiased ear to the students, making them feel welcomed and loved. Our children also leave the
counselor with strategies to get through each day while maintaining dignity and respect for others."
Terry Hay, Principal
Whitaker Elementary School, Buena Park
