When the Pandemic commenced, students lost over a year of social-emotional connection to other students and their worlds altered. Today as students make the adjustment to in person learning, they need a safe, welcoming, and encouraging space to feel heard, to process the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with a safe return to school. As the school psychiatric social worker, it is my intention to provide students with a physical space where they can be validated, gain connection, and feel motivated. I am requesting your assistance to create this physical space.
