Trauma Management

Funded Nov 29, 2023

Thank you so much for the art supplies, journals, and copies of "The Four Agreements". The project is to give students the supplies they need when they're in a dark or difficult headspace. I have given students journal to give a safe space to put away their jumbled thoughts. If students are dealing with a specific issue I give them journal prompts to write about. Just the other day, a student came to me to discuss some dark thoughts and lack of self-love. I know he is into art, so I gave him a sketchbook and told him that any time he struggled with negative self-thoughts to draw something about himself he is proud of, whether it is a physical characteristic or something internal. We are working to get out of negative thoughts and find the good. Because I have the materials to provide for the students I'm able to help them work through these struggles. Thank you so much for your contribution!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Gelles
