Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

It is Mental Health Awareness Month, and providing students with the tools to cope with challenging emotions is essential. Art, books, toys, and fidgets are all helpful tools for students who are experiencing mental health challenges. These tools can help students learn healthy ways to cope with trauma, and other emotional challenges they might be dealing with. When students are able to cope with mental health issues in a healthy manner they are better prepared to learn, grow, socialize, and succeed. With your help we can provide students the tools they needs to overcome their mental health challenges.
