Wellness Together Earns 2026 Great Place To Work Certification™
The Californer/10362298

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Californer -- Wellness Together has been Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the first time. The recognition is based entirely on what Wellness Together's own team members say about their experience at work. For an organization built on care and connection, that feedback means a great deal: the clinicians, coordinators and support staff who show up for students every day say they feel that same care in return.

Wellness Together brings mental health support directly onto school campuses, meeting students right where they are. Being part of a student's school day allows staff to build genuine, trusting relationships that help students strengthen coping strategies, heal from emotional distress and build lasting mental wellness. That work depends on a team that feels supported and connected, which is why Wellness Together invests in its people with the same intention it brings to students, families and educators.

"Caring for our staff is how we care for our mission," said Robert Garcia, Chief Operating Officer at Wellness Together. "Our team gives so much of themselves to students every day, and we ensure they receive strong mentorship, growth opportunities, and supportive leadership in return. When our staff feels supported, the students, families, and educators we serve feel the difference."

"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. "By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Wellness Together stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."

"Our people are the heart of our mission," said Kimberly Lee, Senior Director of Operations at Wellness Together. "When our team feels supported, valued and connected, they can do their best work for the students, families and educators we serve. This certification reflects the culture our employees build together every day, and we're excited to keep growing it."

"I started with Wellness Together five years ago as an intern, and I've been able to grow here in ways I didn't expect," said Zoe Heredia, Outreach Programs Coordinator at Wellness Together. "I've had the chance to work alongside our leadership team and support a number of initiatives like Mind Out Loud and the Wellness Together Conference. It means a lot to be part of a place that invests in its people and makes room for us to keep growing."

According to Great Place To Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace.
