My Project

As an educator I want to look at the whole student. Mental health is a major challenge for youth. With the creation of this space I will give students the space to decompress and receive mental health support. With the support of the items in this projects scholars will receive comfortable bean bags, wall art that serves as reminders, stress balls, and workbooks that will allow them to reflect.

The workbooks will be used to develop a curriculum that will allow scholars to acknowledge, develop a better awareness, and manage their emotions.
