Support Students' Mental Health!

Funded Apr 2, 2022

Thank you so much for helping me fund my project for materials to support mental health at my elementary school! With these funds, I was able to find age appropriate and engaging materials to support our youngest learners with big and difficult feelings. Students get to decorate their materials, make them their own and re-use them in their classroom or at home.

We have begun to explore feelings of worry, how to identify the feeling and how to cope with it. We also made a game to help us explore different emotions in a fun way where we could play with friends too and look for clues to determine how we and others are feeling. To help students that are not sure what to do with angry feelings, lessons have included visuals to support teaching positive ways to express feelings of anger (which are ok!). Students love to find fun ways to explore and share feelings, which has not been easy these past years. The goal is to support these young learners to continue coping with big feelings as they get older and navigate these challenging times. We are so grateful!!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Rauld
