Meet Sergio Guerrero

Many thanks to the Appleton Area School District for inviting Samaritan to be part of their Benefits & Wellness Fair last week. It was a joy to connect with so many AASD staff and share mental health resources and support for the people who care for our community every day.

As the 6th largest school district in Wisconsin, serving nearly 15,000 students, AASD’s commitment to whole-person wellness truly shows. From financial and retirement wellness to mindfulness practices, CPR training, empathy fatigue, healthy cooking, and family-focused workshops, the day reflected a thoughtful and holistic approach to well-being.

Thank you for creating space for connection, care, and prevention. We’re honored to be a partner in supporting the educators and staff who make such a difference in the lives of students and families across our community.
