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 Students

My students have a range of disabilities and they attend a special education public school housed in a campus with other high schools. The students on my counseling caseload participate in an inclusion program in which they take general education classes with a co-located school.

My students have overcome many academic and social and emotional obstacles to be where they are today.

My Project

I will be providing counseling services to students in a private office, and I will be seeing them either individually or in a group setting. I just inherited the office from a previous counselor, and am looking to make the space a warm and inviting place for students. It can be challenging for students to open up during counseling, and it can be even more challenging for students to seek out help outside of their session.

I am hoping to give them a vibrant safe space where they can come whenever they are in need.

The materials in this project will allow me to decorate the office in a warm, inviting manner. Additionally, I have requested counseling materials such as games and conversation starters to help students open up.
