My Project

My project is to help adolescents regulate their emotions so they can succeed in school. Mental Health has been a topic with my students for the past few years, we are constantly working on coming up and using things in our environment we can use to help redirect our attention and focus when we start to get angry and mad.

The materials in this chart will help my students to learn better way to cope with their fight or flight response that can negatively impact their mental health.

We are trying to promote a positive space for the students to address their mental health needs both in school and in the community. If we work together we can help youth have a better tomorrow.

My goals for the project is to teach teenagers about positive outlets and strategies they can engage in for a better mind set. My students are ages 13 to 22, they come from low income areas and try their best each day to have a good day, but home life can get in the way.

Creating a safe environment for these students using these materials will allow them to learn the correct ways to deal with challenges in life and have a positive relationship with mental health rather than a negative one.
