My Project

I work at 3 different campuses as a Psychiatric Social Worker, meaning I am the point person for mental health and wellness. I help regulate student emotions, perform crisis/suicide assessments when needed, run groups and do classroom presentations. Many of these students come from families that need extra support financially and emotionally. Being equipped with these therapeutic games will allow for social emotional learning and processing, while engaging students in play. I believe that atmosphere is very important and I would love posters and rugs to create a positive, safe space.
