Mental Health and Wellness

Funded Nov 22, 2024

I cannot express how much these materials have helped the students feel more comfortable and engaged. Students have been able to come to my office and get a snack and check in with me to talk about their days. During my counseling sessions or when providing social emotional support, it helps the students to calm down when they are able to pick something out and be able to physically hold something or color in the coloring books.

The students have been so grateful to have the snacks and their favorite thing to ask me for are the takis chips. The snacks have also been great for rewarding the students when I need to do a psycho educational assessment. The students are able to focus on the tasks and look forward to their reward when they're done.

These materials and snacks have made my office more comfortable and with the help of the donors I was even able to share some materials and snacks with my PSW who also sees a lot of students in need. She was so grateful that I was able to share with her and has said that the materials have really appreciated the variety of items.”

With gratitude,
