Keep Calm & Carry On

Help me give my students stress-reducing objects to help them feel calm and regulate their emotions.

My Project

I engage daily with middle school students. While they sit in my office, I aim to provide them a safe space where they feel comfortable and supported. I would love to add some sensory tools like fidget toys, thinking putty and other stress-reducing objects they can manipulate to help them feel calm, combat anxiety and self-regulate. All of these donations go directly to the students.

My primary focus is on the well-being of the students.

I am currently working towards my Masters in School Counseling at the University of Southern California and completing phase 1 of Fieldwork. Thank you for your kindness and support!
