My Project

I am a school social worker who works directly with students individually, in small groups and push into the classroom to work on skills connected to emotional regulation, anxiety, social skills, mental health and more. There is always more need each year to help students regulate and manage their mental health. I like to have sensory items available for students to use as it can be a tool to help them regulate. I run small groups for social interaction skill building, so the conservation dice, conversation cards and various games assist me in working with students on those social skills. I also like to provide tactile sensory things because this helps emotional regulation through the our senses.
