My Project

As the Guidance Counselor for a middle school, I would like to create a safe, designated spot within my office where students can regroup when experiencing strong emotions or may just simply need a break.

I am currently working with my students on exploring/learning to identify their emotions so they can better regulate them.

The items listed can assist with creating that space. The books, games and rug are tools that would enhance our corner and aid in creating the calm needed during times of crisis. Any assistance is appreciated!
