My Project

I am so excited about this project! I am requesting support to provide my students with coloring books, books about mental health, a comfy seating option, gratitude journals, yoga mats and more! I want to focus even more on helping students improve and maintain their mental health this year.

Let's be honest, sometimes we all need help.

Teenagers are at an especially high risk to develop anxiety and depression. There are so many tools we can provide for our young people to help them learn healthy ways to cope with their feelings. As a School Counselor it is my job to provide a safe space where students can come to seek comfort and knowledge. Thank you in advance for helping me reach my goal!!! Materials will be shared with my co-counselor.

Ms. Phillips Academy of Hospitality & Tourism Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
