Dr. Violet T. Adams CEO/Founder
The visionary and leader of Masomo Group Consulting is Dr. Violet T. Adams.
She is a native of Columbia, South Carolina where she had a vision early in life to leave a legacy behind. She has conducted research in instructional practices, student mental health, student efficacy, at-risk students, alternative schools, integrated arts, and creativity. Specifically, she authored and published several articles on these topics including the instructional theory, "Creative Learning Theory."
With 28 years as an educator, Dr. Adams faithfully served both at-risk and gifted children and realized that both groups required specified attention. She spent much of her career in Title I and alternative schools. Additionally, Dr. Adams has several family members affected by mental health challenges; most of whom did not graduate from high school. These experiences spawned her concern about the effects of mental health on the ultimate success of students. Her goal is to provide the necessary resources to schools, families and the community needed to support students with mental health concerns and ultimately prepare them to be mentally healthy and productive citizens.
Dr. Adams is certified in Mental Health First Aid, Epilepsy, Teacher Support, and K-12 Education. This undergirds her philosophy of "Education is the Great Equalizer." resulting in her drive to rid all educational organizations of systemic inequities.
MASOMO GROUP a National Council Mental Wellbeing agency
PURPOSE
MASOMO GROUP LLC (MG) exists to address issues that negatively affect the matriculation of Students at Risk. Our focus is particularly on student mental health support training and the availability of resources to support them.
MISSION
Our Mission is to meet the needs of those who are most disenfranchised from mental health services by filling the need with state of the art and traditional services including mental heath first-aid training.
THE PROBLEM
- National Association of School Psychologists state that 1 in every 5 children experience a mental health crisis daily.
- NASP recommends 1 mental health specialist for every 500 students, The reality is that there are only 2 for every 5000 students.
- Most schools do not have a mental health specialist. This problem is due to the lack of availability of education therapists graduating from college.
- There are a few mental health first aid programs available to teach educators how to correctly identify mental health crises in children, but most educators are not trained. As a result, when a child is in crises the solution is to suspend resulting in punishing, not helping these children
- Many children experience PTSD from challenging living environments, domestic violence, rape, economic depravity, and violence.
- We are certified by the National Council Mental Wellbeing to provide mental health support training and mental heath first-aid training.
