As a school social worker, I notice there are two main reasons a student comes to my office: to discuss current life stressors or to gain the tangible supplies needed to live. It can be pretty overwhelming coming to an adult to talk about private matters and all the emotions that come with it, which I why I usually offer fidget activities for students to hold or play with while sharing what is on their mind so they can be as comfortable as possible. When dealing with stress, I like to give students copies of activities from workbooks in order to map out their thought processes and find a solution together. This not only teaches them to slow down any "all or nothing" thinking, but also allows them to trust their abilities and skills both in and out of school. Additionally, I will never turn a student away from requesting food, whether it is the first time I see them or the 100th. These items will create an inclusive environment, encourage students to feel comfortable asking for support, and gain the skills needed to deal with stressors that come with adulthood. Knowing there are individuals out there who want to contribute to this will give many students the motivation to keep going!
