These tools will help provide an understanding to the students of why they reacted in such an aggressive manner and help learn to how to voice their frustrations and apply a healthier response. When our children are hurting emotionally or socially, they tend not to focus on their academics. These tools will provide an avenue to help verbalize feelings and more importantly, give them healthier coping tools. I want to show and model with the tools how to use mental health skills in all situations, school, home and community.
