Help Mrs. Boitnott

Divorce is at an all time high and children are being affected. As the guidance counselor at Bonne E'cole Elementary School (Kindergarten - 5th Grade) I work with nearly 700 students, half of them coming from divorced homes. We were in the Hurricane Katrina affected area and the stress that has brought on has seemed to even increase the amount of homes that are breaking up. Because of housing shortage due to Hurricane Katrina many parents are forced to stay under one roof with rising tension, which the children are exposed to. I would like to have resources that will help the children deal with their everyday life. I work with many students in this situation and have had groups also for the students so that they can see that they are not alone. A good percentage of them blame themselves which is very typical. Most seem to know things that children should not know - ex. child support, court dates, custody battles, etc. It breaks my heart. I have such a passion for working with these children. I would like to add to the school counselor library so I can help students more readily and have resources also for parents. I know nothing about the situation is easy but I hope I can help these students to make the transition a little easier. Please consider funding these resources - the kids will benefit so much!
