My Project

We are a team of four school social workers who specialize in stress management and anxiety management strategies. We provide Social Emotional Learning sessions where we teach students how to identify and manage symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Our student population has 75% of households living below the federal poverty level.

In addition, we have a large program for refugees and newcomers from high conflict areas such as Ukraine, Afghanistan, Congo, Thai/Laos refugee camps and Somalia/Ethiopia/Eritrea. Our students have overcome enormous trauma and hardship and we would like to provide them with some tools and strategies to help them manage their stress and anxiety. Thank you for considering this request!

Grades 9-12
