My Project

Hi, everyone. As a psychiatric social worker/mental health counselor in a high school, I see students day in and day out with stress from academics, family issues, relationships, and so much more. I'm new to our school and my goal is to create a safe space where students can regulate, utilize mindfulness skills, and feel open to sharing what is going on in their lives.

My project is requesting different resources such as fidget toys, art materials, motivational posters and materials, and decor to create a welcoming environment for our students to share what is going on in their lives.

Please help create a room that welcomes students and provides comfort in these stressful times of youth development!
