My Project

As a part of new Utah legislature we are getting more mental health workers in schools! Part of this transition is us working together to create a calming and supportive space. We are working together to make sure that when students come to see us they feel comfortable. Part of that comfort is allowing flexible seating when working to us.

Providing a space with bean bags and a new rug provides a freshness and comfort for our students that need a little extra support.

The purpose of this type accommodation is to meet the needs of students by providing a wide variety of seating, to put students at the center, and to allow them to make choices based on their preferences (Jonathan, B., Solène, A., France D., 2022). Protective factors that positively influence mental health and wellbeing in school and decrease exposure to stressors include the quality of the physical environment, classroom interactions (Amoly et al., 2014), and social support provided by staff (Kruger et al., 2007; Heaney and Israel, 2008).
