A Great Way to Provide Therapy in the Schools!

Help me give my students an area rug, books, weighted monkey, small toys, carpet, and floor sweeper, and more to help my kids learn more about their emotions and how to communicate in a positive way!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Baxter's classroom raised $650

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a therapist at an elementary school in the city. With these supplies, including playdough, books on grief, fidgets, and the toys such as the play food and sticking blocks, will be essential for conducting PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy) and trauma therapy, my students will have the essential tools to process their trauma, develop coping skills, and cultivate effective, positive communication strategies.

Being in a school, there are a lot of germs, so cleaning supplies is also helpful to stop the spread of germs!

Especially around the holidays.

The items such as the rug, mini vacuum, and folders, will assist with organization as well as provide a clean and therapeutic space for my clients and their guardians.
