Mental Health Marine Wellness

Help me give my students marine-themed resources—interactive coloring pages, journals, and wellness tools—to support the well-being of my students in Harlem. These resources will provide mindfulness-focused outlets, helping students manage stress, build emotional resilience, and stay positively engaged.

My Project

I am reaching out to request donations of marine-themed resources—like interactive coloring pages, reflective journals, and creative wellness tools—to support the mental well-being of my predominantly minority students in Harlem.

We have a small tank already and are looking to expand this initiative to other classes.

It calms students and promotes pride.

These resources will provide calming, mindfulness-focused outlets, helping students manage stress, build emotional resilience, and stay positively engaged with their learning. This support will empower them to thrive academically and emotionally, creating a foundation for their success in both school and life.
