This project will help create a learning environment that should put them at ease in order to receive the emotional support they need. We want to create an inviting space, where if they are emotionally charged, they can reset and process their situations. We also want to support them academically when we need them to. All of our students have emotional disabilities and need to work on strategies in order to properly handle their emotions and decisions. Having this inviting space will help to create that environment. Thank you for your support.
