My Project

These materials were chosen for children grades 3-5 who have emotion support needs. These materials will help foster student strengths and develop coping skills to improve their confidence, wellbeing and overall mental health. Our students will use the games and art supplies to increase healthy emotional expression.

Children learn best through art and play because they can freely and openly express their emotions.

The materials chosen in this project such as Trauma Informed Tool Box will provide opportunities for students to improve their emotional well-being under the guidance of faculty and staff that care for them.
