Meet Ms. Cairns!

College: I attended Stockton University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Science. I then continued my education at MCPHS University in Manchester, New Hampshire, where I received my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy.

Career: I have been working as an Occupational Therapist in a school setting for the past four years. During this time, I have gained experience in both public school and special education environments. I have primarily worked with students with autism, as well as those with multiple disabilities.

About me: I currently live in Philadelphia, but grew up in West Deptford, New Jersey. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, reading, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.

Happy April, Stonehurst Family! My name is Mrs. Sanders and I am the School Social Worker at Stonehurst. This is the Mental Health Monthly section of the newsletter. The goal of the section is to reduce the stigma associated with mental health and provide quick tips, information, and resources related to mental and behavioral health. I look forward to promoting and supporting the mental health of the Stonehurst community. Please remember that this content is for informational purposes only and she should not be considered a substitute for professional advice or consultation with mental health professionals. If you need help finding mental health professionals in your community, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. This month’s topic is Understanding Emotions!
