My Project

Many times, student come to my office to relax and confide in me during times of emotional dysregulation.

These materials and furniture will help my students regulate their emotions and feel safe and secure in their environment.

Students will also use some of these materials to do group and art therapy work!

I would love to create an environment that is not full of hard chairs and uncomfortable office-like furniture. This helps students regulate their nervous systems and relax.

These workbooks will help my students heal through art and creativity.
