Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a Psychiatric School Social Worker, one of the most rewarding things to see is when my students are able to apply social-emotional skills into their daily lives. As a mental health counselor, my priority is to support the mental health and social-emotional well-being of students from all walks of life. Directly servicing elementary school settings has allowed me to get creative and tailor the way I teach skills to children in an age and developmentally appropriate way. My students frequently express their enthusiasm in learning social-emotional and mindfulness skills through the use of art and play-based therapy.

With these art supplies, books, board games, and fidgets I will be able to continue supporting the social-emotional and mental health needs of all students on a wider scale.

My students continue to display interest in the ability to learn skills that will ultimately support their overall social-emotional and mental health well-being. Through the use of these donated items to be stored and accessed on the cart, my students will have the tools necessary to practice these skills in a way that's relatable to their own personal needs!
