Designing Spaces for Mental Health and Social Emotional Support

Funded Sep 14, 2024

The PSW (psychiatric social work) office has been transformed into a welcoming and functional space, not only for me but also the students. Students routinely come to the office to meet with me, take an emotional break, or for the occasional meeting. I have been able to utilize the space as a calming place to help students when they are distressed.

The student were quick to notice all of the modifications to the office. The feedback was all positive, as they shared their approval and their interest in the new items.

Moving forward I would like to make more resources available to aid the students in promoting mental health, for themselves and others. I'd like to add books, games, and activities that students would be able to utilize to education and the practice of social-emotional development.”
