My Students

"There are no prerequisites for worthiness," Brene Brown. This is the simple and profound message that I want my students to believe. They are worthy of love, belonging, care, and compassion. No matter what they come to the table with, they are worthy.

My school is devoted to community building, social responsibility, and conflict resolution.

Our goal is for our students to be confident, kind, and ready to contribute towards positive social change in the community and world around them. My counseling students need the space and tools to sit comfortably, and to engage in the hard and vulnerable work of exploring what makes them happy, what troubles them most, and how to tap into their strongest selves.

My Project

My students need books to help process their experiences. They need art supplies to help express their feelings. They need tools and toys to help express their stories. They will be engaged in self-exploration, self-esteem building, character development, and positive behavior development, through various techniques of person-centered counseling, bibliotherapy, play therapy, and art therapy. These supplies will help me maintain a productive and effective practice.

These supplies will help me create a warm, safe, and inviting environment for my students.

Donations to this project will contribute to a space, where students can take a break, relax, reflect, and gain, or maintain control over their own personal experiences.
