🎙 Episode 21 - Supporting Student Well-Being with Lance Metayer & Corretta Enos 🎙

In this episode, John & Bill sit down with Lance Metayer, a dedicated Mental Health Counselor at Bellows Free Academy, and Corretta "Cori" Enos, a compassionate Social Worker at BFA. Both are deeply committed to supporting students’ well-being, whether through mental health counseling, substance use prevention, or social-emotional learning (SEL).

Lance brings a wealth of experience from residential care to direct service and management, and he loves the diversity of his role at BFA. Beyond his work, he’s passionate about woodworking—especially turning bowls on a lathe—a hands-on craft that keeps him grounded and focused.

Cori’s path started in mathematics, but after teaching at an alternative program, she found her true calling in student support services. She now works one-on-one with students, helping them navigate challenges, build resilience, and develop strong relationships.
