Some Facts About Me!

This is my second year as a counselor and at MDVE.
I received my MA in Counseling and Human Services from UCCS and my BS in Psychology from CSU-Pueblo (Go Thunderwolves!!!).
I was in color guard (the marching band kind) for 10 years and I was a high school color guard instructor for 2 years!
Fall is my favorite season and I can often be seen with a PSL during the Autumn months.
I have a fur baby named Skittles (above!) who has my whole heart
I previously worked in an inpatient psychiatric facility as an MHT, scribe, and a therapist (but not all at the same time).
I love listening to classic rock and attending live concerts.

Hello Meadow View families!

This is my second year at Meadow View Elementary School and I am excited to continue this adventure with you! Last school year, MDVE was faced with many challenges and the 2020-2021 school year has shown to be a unique one as well. Our Meadow View family is a strong one though and I believe COVID-19 and eLearning are obstacles that we will get through together.

I am available to meet with students in person or through Google Meets on remote learning days. I will also be available to meet with our students engaged in full eLearning through electronic means as well. I have put together some resources to help families and students get through these challenging times.

Please take a look through the pages on this website to check out resources and calm down strategies.

I am the first school counselor to work in Meadow View and I am sure some of you are wondering what I do! Some of my roles/specialties include, but are not limited to:

Working with general education
Facilitating small groups
Providing brief, solution focused individual counseling
Administering suicide assessments
Providing threat assessment support
Reporting safety concerns

With warm regards,

Mariah Bennett
